Onofrio’s Fountain

Constructed in the 15th century by architect Onofrio della Cava, Onofrio’s Fountain stands as a circular landmark in Dubrovnik’s Old Town. Originally designed as the end point of the city’s 7-mile (12-kilometer) aqueduct system, the fountain now serves as a resting place for visitors and locals alike. Its location in the heart of the city makes it a central meeting point, often surrounded by the bustling sounds of daily life. Nearby, a smaller fountain also designed by Onofrio della Cava complements the grander structure, adding to the historical charm of the area.
