Large Onofrio Fountain
Stari Grad
Built between 1438 and 1440, the Large Onofrio Fountain is one of Dubrovnik's most iconic sites and popular meeting points, and it's the first thing you'll see upon entering through the Pile Gate. The 16-sided stone fountain is topped by a large dome and was designed by architect Onofrio di Giordano della Cava. Along with the Small Onofrio Fountain at the other end of the Stradun, it was part of a complex water-supply system designed to bring water into the Old Town from a well 12 km (7½ miles) away. It originally had more sculptures, but they were damaged during the earthquake in 1667; the 16 that remain spout water that is still cold and drinkable.
