a series of fountains built along the escarpment of the historical center of Salvador. It consists of a broad brick area and glazed tile facade with a triangular pediment. The fountain was listed as a historic structure by the Artistic and Cultural Heritage Institute of Bahia (Instituto do Patrimônio Artístico Cultural da Bahia, IPAC) in 1984.
