The Set of five fountains of Caneças is located in the municipality of Odivelas, in the locality of Pinhal Verde. Specifically, this space is situated in the Tomada do Capão Neighborhood. Nestled in a predominantly residential area, this site offers a point of interest that invites a pause, harmonizing the tranquility of a space with natural elements with its proximity to the urban environment.
Historically, fountains were central points in community life, providing water and serving as gathering places. This set evokes that tradition, bringing together five springs which, over time, were structured and recognized for their importance. The presence of these fountains in Odivelas underscores the region's relationship with its water resources, bearing witness to a part of local history.
The five fountains that comprise this set are designated as Fontaínhas, Pissarras, Passarinhos, Castelo de Vide, and Castanheiros. Each name, by itself, suggests a particularity or a connection to the landscape and the characteristics that once distinguished them. As one traverses this space, it is possible to appreciate the simplicity and authenticity of each of these fountains, which together form a small retreat. The murmur of the water and the surrounding atmosphere invite a moment of serenity, allowing for a tranquil observation of the details each fountain offers.
