The Fountains of Igrejinha: Tradition and Living History

The village's relationship with water is celebrated through two iconic fountains:

• ThePublic Fountain: More than a century old, it was built to supply drinking water to the population. Although it is no longer potable, the fountain still serves for watering and small uses, and preserves a unique history with protective railings, the result of ancient local tragedies.
• Tanque do Leão: This community tank was a meeting place for the women of the village, who washed clothes and shared stories. Today, the tank is preserved as a historical landmark, and the water that gushes from the lion's marble mouth is drinkable, offering a “refreshment from the Lion” to visitors.
