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.
