A fountain to be admired with its three Corinthian columns surmounted by Latin inscriptions and lion heads.

This fountain, built in 1626, is named after Alvise Rimondi, the Venetian governor of Rethymno. It covered a large part of the drinking water needs of the city's inhabitants. Through a series of pipes, discovered during recent works, the water reached the city from the Evligia hill, to the south. Today we can admire the three Corinthian columns with Latin inscriptions and the lion's heads - the symbol of Venice - from which the water gushes. According to the ancient legend, whoever drinks this water will never grow old!

Superbe petite fontaine vénitienne du 17è, avec têtes de lion. Située en léger retrait, et le monde aidant, on passerait facilement à côté.

C'est le lieu central de Rethymnon, on y passe souvent en visitant le centre historique. A côté, le glacier est excellent!

C'est une joli fontaine se trouvant au centre de la ville. Vous ne pouvez pas la manquer. Elle est tout de même petite.

This fountain is nothing spectacular, it is not as traditional sense (for me, if you say fountain I think immediately from the Trevi Fountain to Rome) but it is nice, pretty. Nothing to rave about or to make the trip right for that, but the advantage is that it is close to the old town, which are charming.
