Fontana greco romana

The Roman Greek Fountain dates back to the 3rd century BC although many historians believe it was built in the Renaissance age. It is located near the Gallipoli Bridge that connects the old city with the new village. The main façade is five meters high and has four caryatids supporting the lintel. In the bas-reliefs carved with local stone are represented the metamorphoses of three Greek mythological figures: Biblide, Salmace and Dirce. The other façade was used as the support of the main one depicting the carved coat of arms of Gallipoli.
