 | Dubrovnik Big Onofrije's Fountain Reviews | 1 - 10 of 23 |  |
Located at the open space right to Pile gate. It is a 16-sided drinking fountain built by Onofrio de la Cava (1438 - 1444). The Fountain is part of the town's water supply system which Onofrio managed to create by bringing the water from the well in Rijeka Dubrovacka. The well is located 20 km from Big Onofrio's Fountain and this construction was a masterpiece of that time. Leave a Comment

Next to the Franciscan Monastery on the western side of the old town is Onofrio’s Large Fountain, erected in 1440. The original fountain had a waterworks display that was impressive. Another casualty of the 1667 earthquake, it lost most of its original functionality, although clear river water still flows from the fountain today. Leave a Comment

Just across from St. Saviour's and the Franciscan monastery complex is this giant fountain. It is located at the entrance to the city just inside the Pile Gate for good reason, as it was a requirement for visitors to the city to wash here before gaining entrance in order to avoid the spread of the plague.
The fountain is basically a big stone circle topped by a dome with ornate heads sprouting from its surface and spewing water into a surrounding ring shaped pool. It was designed by the Italian architect Onofrio de la Cava who also designed the smaller fountain on the far eastern end of Stradun near the base of the bell-tower. Leave a Comment

Water is a must for people visiting Dubrovnik in the hot sunny days of summer. This is the Onofrio's Fountain, a 16 side drinking fountain which was designed by the Italian architect Onofrio de la Cava in 1440. The fountain is a part of the city's elaborate water system with fresh water coming all the way from Rijeka at 12km away. Onofrei's fountain is located right after the entrance in the Dubrovnik Old City (fortress). Leave a Comment

Strategically located, this fountain from the 15th century, is visited by everybody, either to drink its cool water, either to wash face and hands. Sixteen fountains always pouring water brought from a well 20 km distant, welcome the visitors, and make this the most visited monument in Dubrovnik Leave a Comment

This water well was built during the 15th century and brings water from 12 km away. The water still runs today and you can drink or wash your hands in it. It is located inside the City walls as you enter through the Pile Gate you will see it just before the Stradun , the main street. Leave a Comment Address: Dubrovnik Old Town

Very near to Franciscan Monastery on the western side of the old town is Onofrio’s Large Fountain, was build in 1440. In the 1667 earthquake, it lost original functionality, although clear river water still flows from the 16 fountains today. The well is situated 20 km far from this place and the work is outstanding
