Fontana Tancredi, Medieval fountain in Brindisi, Italy.
The fountain features two loggias with neo-Moorish cupolas, stone basins for water collection, and decorative coats of arms on its facade.
King Tancredi of Sicily ordered the construction of this fountain in 1192 to commemorate his son Ruggero's marriage to Byzantine Princess Irene Angelo.
The structure displays three separate coats of arms added in 1540: those of Brindisi, governor Ferrante Loffredo, and Emperor Charles V.
Located on Via Provinciale San Vito 114, the fountain originally served as a water source for animals and agricultural irrigation near the city entrance.
The fountain's original pyramid-shaped coverings, documented in a 1797 engraving, were later replaced with the current domed structures during 19th-century renovations.
