Visit the Fountain of Saint Mark - Castelo Branco
The fountain of San Marcos, located in the parish of Castelo Branco, was built at the end of the 16th century, at a time when the suburbs of the village grew and there was a need to make.
Of Mannerist structure, the fountain is composed by a back defined by two pilasters flanked by volutes that rests in a rectangular tank. At the same time, the decorative program features elements inspired by the Manueline architecture, since reliefs were engraved with the representation of the national shield, flanked to the right by the armillary sphere and left by fleur-de-lis under the Cross of Christ. By the middle of the nineteenth century the source was no longer used to supply the population.
It has the source on the slope of the Castle.

The Chafariz da Ponte do Bico, located in the Parish of Palmeira, is implanted in an uneven space next to the upper façade, in a semicircular space with a bench all around. It is a public monument built by the Municipality of Braga in 1879. The water channeled to the fountain comes from the underground source located to the south of this infrastructure and was mainly used for domestic use or to be consumed locally by people or animals.
