Fonte Mourisca or the Moorish Fountain is a public water fountain sited by the roadside on the Volta do Duche in Sintra. It is a moorish revival structure, built in 1922 by Jose da Fonseca. These springs still provide drinking water and you can often see some people filling bottles from them. The very moorish looking Fonte Mourisca spring in Sintra. Lovely.

Beautiful tiles, lovely spot for a photo. The fountain is near the cafe so you could also stop off there after you have admired this lovely piece of art.
