Small Onofrio Fountain

The mechanism of the small Onofrio fountain, like the large one, was designed by the architect Onofrio della Cava in the XV century. The small fountain remained intact during the earthquake of 1667. And he transformed and made this masterpiece as we see it now, sculptor Peter Martinov. The professional was entrusted with the task of decorating the fountains of the Prince's Palace. The small Onofrievsky fountain is located right next to it.
In Dubrovnik, dry and fresh water has always been of particular value to the people. When the water system was designed, it was seen as magic. It is noteworthy that there was a sharp confrontation between Dubrovnik and the Republic of Venice, and in the first case the water was supposed to be of the highest quality. Many claim that after centuries it has not changed a bit, remaining as clean and fresh. Tourists are delighted with the unusual building adjacent to the building of the Main Guard. One cannot miss one of the gems of the beautiful and oldest city of Dubrovnik. Finding the fountain is not difficult, because it is located on the main street Stradun.
