Large Onofrios Fountain

The huge Onofrio's Fountain is situated at the evry access to the Old Town from the west. Dubrovnik in the days of yore had huge issues with water on the grounds that the summers are long and dry. They had pontoons that provided the city with water on the grounds that the wells were deficient and after that toward the start of the fifteenth Century made an incredible advance in civilisation. Nothing comparable had been done until then in Europe. The Senate chose to carry water into the city from a spring close to the town Knezice which is about 12 kilometers from the city dividers. The venture was depended ti the eminent Italian draftsman Onofrio from Cava, south of Naples. The undertaking was extremely costly yet Onofrio was certain he would succeed and said that if there were any issues, he would bear the expenses.
