Big Onofrio's Fountain ਦਾ ਇਤਿਹਾਸ
Big Onofrio's Fountain was built by Onofrio della Cava, a Neapolitan engineer who also designed much of Dubrovnik's medieval water system. The fountain was the end point of the aqueduct that brought spring water into the walled city and it still runs on that gravity-fed system, which is why the spouts flow without pumps.
Dubrovnik's 1667 earthquake collapsed the fountain's original stone cupola and damaged the carvings, and the top was later replaced by a plainer form that visitors see today. A second, smaller fountain by the same builder stands at the other end of Stradun on Luža Square. Little Onofrio's Fountain on Luža Square is the easier one to miss, and the two together bracket the length of Stradun.
Big Onofrio's Fountain ਦੇ ਨਿਯਮ ਤੇ ਸ਼ਿਸ਼ਟਾਚਾਰ
Big Onofrio's Fountain is a public monument, so climbing on it, wading in the basin and washing food or clothes in its water are prohibited. Visitors can drink or fill a bottle from the mascaron spouts, and locals do the same, which means a short queue is normal in summer. Stand beside the basin rather than on its stone rim when taking photographs, since the surface is polished and wet.
Big Onofrio's Fountain stands at Pile Gate, the busiest entrance to the Old Town, so give the fountain space when tour groups gather; queues to the Walls also form beside it. Keep bags zipped, as pickpocketing is reported around the plaza in peak hours, and note that wheeled suitcases are banned on the Old Town streets, so drop them at your hotel first.
Big Onofrio's Fountain ਜਾਣ ਲਈ ਸੁਝਾਅ
- 1
Big Onofrio's Fountain is the fastest place to fill a water bottle before walking Dubrovnik City Walls, since paid drinks on the ramparts cost several euros; the water comes from the municipal supply and is safe to drink, as of 2026. Walk around all 16 sides to find the faces that spout water, and note that the stone steps and basin are worn smooth.
- 2
Dubrovnik's Franciscan Monastery is next door to the fountain, with the pharmacy and cloister open for a small fee, and the fountain marks the start of Stradun. Use it as a meeting point, since it is easy to find on arrival and lies at street level with no steps to reach it, but avoid the 09:30 to 11:30 window in summer when cruise groups arrive through Pile Gate and the plaza is packed.
