Visit the Lion Fountain - Alpedrinha

Not knowing for sure the date of its construction the Lion Fountain, located in the Town of Alpedrinha, must surely be one of the oldest sources of the Village. It is situated near the chapel of Santa Catarina.
The source has four steps to the top of them and a small landing. Until 1898 was a square tank that was at that time, replaced by a shell of stone. It has a relief sculpture, a creature with no legs and tail, a bit weathered. Maybe a lion. In the mouth has a brass faucet, which was once the iron.
