Chafariz da Esperança, Neoclassical fountain in Estrela, Portugal
The Chafariz da Esperança features two distinct levels with separate tanks, incorporating a portico and two lateral staircases in its architectural design.
Built in 1768 by Miguel Blasco following Carlos Mardel's design, this fountain formed part of the Aguas Livres system addressing Lisbon's water requirements.
The fountain received National Monument status in 1910, exemplifying the architectural elements of the Pombaline period in Portuguese construction.
Located in Largo da Esperança, the fountain maintains its original function as a public water source under the management of Lisbon Municipality.
The structure distinguishes between human and animal usage through its dual-tank system, with the upper level for people and lower for livestock.
