Fontaine di a Leccia

Located at the bottom of the village, on the local road linking Corbara to Pigna, the fountain known as "A Funtana di a Leccia" is one of the oldest watering places in the village. Erected in 1559 by Maestro Paulo, as the inscription engraved on the aedicula indicates, it combined several uses essential to daily life: a fountain, a washhouse and a watering place for animals. The ensemble comprises two vaults: the first housing the fountain and its basin, the second the wash-house. The inscription M.P.A.V.L.O.X.+ can still be seen on the pediment of the main vault. On one of the pillars, a jug carved in the shape of an ancient vase accompanies another inscription: 1559 P.AN.L. Over time, the fountain has benefited from several restorations, notably in 1853 and then during the XXᵉ century, which have helped preserve this precious testimony to rural heritage. Today, the "di a Leccia" fountain retains all its historical value and serves as a reminder of the importance of water in community life in days gone by.
