Category: Civil Architecture > Spring / Fountain

District: Porto > Porto > Porto > Vilar

Central Location

Located in a bustling area of the city, with easy access to public transport and well served by shops, restaurants and cafes.

Cultural Homage

The square where the fountain is located was dedicated to the Galician poet Rosália de Castro, as a symbol of friendship between Porto and Galicia. The fountain includes a pink granite sculpture in her honor.

Passage and Connection Point

Close to emblematic places such as the Palácio de Cristal (Crystal Palace). Ideal for a short break during a city tour, although it is not a place for long stays.

Urban Environment

Despite the small green area and the existence of benches for rest, the intense traffic and constant movement take away the tranquility of the space.

Best Time to Visit

At the end of the day or at night, the environment becomes more pleasant, especially when the lighting enhances the sculpture and the fountain.
