Fonte Luminosa, Modernist fountain in Alto do Pina, Portugal
The Fonte Luminosa displays geometric shapes with cascading water jets creating patterns against its white stone structure in the Alameda Dom Afonso Henriques.
Built in 1948 during the Portuguese dictatorship period, this fountain marked the reconstruction phase after a fire affected the Alto do Pina neighborhood.
Portuguese azulejo tiles at the base of the fountain represent local scenes and historical figures, reflecting traditional craftsmanship and national identity.
The fountain operates daily with special illuminated water displays after sunset, accessible via the Alameda Dom Afonso Henriques metro station.
The fountain serves as a central meeting point where local residents gather for social activities while children play in the surrounding gardens.
