Fountains of Păunești, Historical water well in Păunești, Romania.
The Fountains of Păunești consist of multiple traditional wells with wooden lifting mechanisms standing in the Valea Caselor area of the village.
These water sources have supplied the local population for generations, representing a continuous link to traditional Romanian rural engineering methods.
The fountains function as central meeting points where residents gather to collect water and exchange daily news about community activities.
