The Rimondi fountain was built in 1626 by the city's Rector A. Rimondi, covering part of the city's water needs. It is located in the Platanou square, which was then the centre of the Venetian city.
It has three water basins, three lion shaped water exits, and three columns crowned by Corinthian capitals bearing a Latin inscription: "LIBERALITATIS" and "FONTES".
The dome -which is partly preserved today- was added during the Turkish Empire. Today the fountain still springs water through the three lion heads.
During public works in the old city the pipe that used to transfer water to the Rimondi fountain was revealed. It was a stone-made vertebrate pipe that -according to 17th century Venetian urban designs- was directed towards the hill of "Evligia", south from the city.
