Visit the Fountain Pisões - San Pedro de Penaferrim (Sintra)

The Source of the mill, located in the Parish of San Pedro de Penaferrim (Sintra) was erected in 1931. The fountain was designed by Master José da Fonseca and develops from the semi-circular structure, which is accessed by stairs down. The seat back, flanked by benches, is lavishly decorated with colorful geometrical motifs in his own sculptured plaster. At the center, ripping large circle framed by heightening the front straight patented tile panels. There is developed the front itself, the Renaissance-inspired entered together CEREM combining floral frieze and flat bottom, where it emerges bas-relief. Just below a leaky faucet in gummed rectangular bowl which, in turn, releases to remain after the water tank and Aguachica creeping intended for animals.
