So stunning it would deserve to appear on a stamp, Rosello Fountain, which is located in the valley of the same name, it is one of the main symbols of the city of Sassari. It was named the Sardinian most famous ornamental fountain by Poste Italiane in 1975.

The Genoese workers built it in the late-Renaissance style between 1603 and 1606.

In its present shape, with its twelve mouths, and the four statues representing the seasons, allegorically it represents the passage of time.

Built over the ancient source of Gurusele, which in Roman times fed the aqueduct which supplied the current Porto Torres, it has always had a point of reference for travellers, used by housewives for laundry and the people who were loading donkeys with the barrels to bring water to the city. In the late nineteenth century, it is said that donkeys used to transport water were nearly three hundred.
It still remains a unique monument of its kind!
