Rimondi Fountain, Venetian fountain in Platanou Square, Rethymno, Greece
The Rimondi Fountain features three water basins with lion-shaped outlets beneath columns topped with Corinthian capitals in the center of Rethymno.
Built in 1626 by Rector A. Rimondi, the fountain provided water for the city during the Venetian period and received a hemispherical dome in Ottoman times.
The fountain holds a Latin inscription on its capitals and remains a central meeting point for residents of Rethymno, connecting past and present generations.
Located in the heart of Platanou Square, the fountain maintains its original function, delivering fresh water through three lion heads throughout the day.
Eight fountains remain in Rethymno today, but the Rimondi Fountain stands as the only surviving water source from the Venetian era of the city.
