Granfonte, Baroque fountain in Leonforte, Italy.
The Granfonte displays a series of stone arches with multiple water spouts arranged in a symmetrical pattern along the limestone structure.
Architect Mariano Smiriglio constructed this water source in 1651, establishing a central supply point for the inhabitants of Leonforte.
The fountain represents the engineering capabilities of 17th-century Sicily through its water distribution system and architectural elements.
Water continues to flow through the original spouts, providing a functional water source for local residents and visitors.
The structure incorporates twenty-four water spouts across its facade, each delivering water through the initial hydraulic engineering system.
