Mala Onofrijeva česma, Renaissance fountain in Luža Square, Croatia

The Small Onofrio Fountain features an octagonal basin with carved dolphins and masks on a central column that releases water into the pool.

Constructed in 1442 as part of Dubrovnik's water system, the fountain was designed by Neapolitan architect Onofrio della Cava and sculptor Pietro di Martino.

The fountain marks a central gathering point in Dubrovnik where both residents and visitors collect fresh water from the decorated spouts.

Located at the eastern end of Stradun, the fountain provides drinking water through its functioning water system originating from Rijeka dubrovačka.

The fountain's dog statue, known as 'kuchak' in local dialect, returned to its original position in 2016 after extensive restoration work.
