Description

The Rimondi fountain can be found in Petychaki Square in the centre of the town. It was built in 1626 by the city rector (of the same name) to provide the people of the town with drinking water. Flanked by Corinithian columns the water flows from three lions’ heads into three basins. The Rimondi family crest can still be seen above the lion heads.
