The large Onofrio's fountain
The fountain was designed by Onofrio della Cava from Naples, who also designed another small fountain at the other end of Placa. The fountains were built for public use on the occasion of the completion of the City water supply in 1438, when the spring water was brought from Rijeka Dubrovačka, situated 12 kilometres away. The old water supply is today connected with the new waterworks system. The large complex of Franciscan Church and Monastery we can see in the background.
