The Casal Pinheiro Fountain is located in the place that gives it its name, Casal Pinheiro, a small area integrated into the parish of Casais. This area, about seven kilometers from the city of Tomar, offers a more serene and rural environment, distinct from urban bustle. It is situated in a rural yet accessible setting, offering a perspective on the traditional life and landscape of the region.
This element recalls the historical importance of fountains as vital points for local communities. The Casais area, where the fountain is located, is known for harboring traces of settlements dating back to periods before the formation of Portuguese nationality itself, highlighting its long history.

Currently, the fountain is in a remarkable state of preservation, displaying characteristics that link it to other similar elements in the parish of Casais. Its simple and functional appearance reflects the popular architecture of the region, inviting visitors to a moment of quiet contemplation. It represents a point of interest that combines cultural heritage with the tranquility of the surrounding rural landscape, offering a small but significant sample of local heritage.
