The Fountain of the Holy Spirit, located in the Town of Alpedrinha, had its construction in 1848 and was the initiative of Mr. Teodosio Alvares Correia de Sousa. The date is a little square of cut corners in frontespício, but it is barely read. This fountain is located near the chapel of the Holy Spirit. Its water comes from a small spring. Before the construction of the fountain the water flowed into the sink of a blacksmith who had a forge on the site of the existing fountain.The granite fountain is thin, with only one spout, with a monumental frontespício three pyramids, with the center higher than the others. The water falls in a small rectangular tank, also in granite, and where once the beasts came to drink.
