Chafariz da Praça da República, Historic fountain in central Braga, Portugal
The granite fountain features multiple water basins and decorative water jets arranged in a circular pattern in the main city square.
In 1995, the fountain underwent reconstruction to restore its original appearance as a central element of Braga's public space.
The fountain transforms into a ceremonial centerpiece during the Saint John festivities when it displays the patron saint statue.
Visitors can find the fountain in Republic Square, within walking distance from numerous restaurants and shopping establishments.
The water feature includes modern lighting systems that create reflective patterns on the water surface during evening hours.
