  • description
  • Also known as Fonte do Borges, São Pedro e do Bicho, it was built in front of the house of the captain of the Merchant Navy, known as "Capitão Borges". António Borges acquired the land left over from the renovation work on the old Chapel and Hospital of Espírito Santo for the construction of the house, and bought a pen of water from this Brotherhood on the condition that, at his own expense, he had the public fountain built.
