Adding to my previous posts on outstanding colonial fountains,* this is a post on the example in the monastery at Ocuituco.
The church front as restored in 2020
The large hexagonal fountain is set on a similar pedestal in the center of the cloister. Carved stone lions crouch on each corner, several of them now headless.
Currently the fountain does not function.
