    It is such a cool fountain near the two joint, but not joint churches and the old university building. When I visited it looked freshly painted, they probably just finished the restoration because I've seen pictures where it is not so bright. To be honest, as much as I like the color of it, it looks a bit weird in its actual surroundings.

    Located in Ribeira square, stands this rather impressive sculpture of a cube standing on its point, sitting in a fountain, the area is very popular with tourists.

    Walked by and enjoyed the statue and fountain. I actually didn't know it was John the Baptist until I went looking for information.
    Pleasant area to get a different view of Ribeira Porto. Wide plaza in front has lots of shops nearby.

    Porto has many impressive, architectural structures to look at at, this fountain that was created in the 1800's adds to the beauty of the area.

    Located in a lovely part of town stands this fountain, that back in the day provided locals with fresh water, these days just another ornate fountain within old town.

    A very old city fountain near the cathedral. You might miss it in all the old architecture. It once gave out an important water source.

    This historic water fountain is one of the few remaining functioning ones in the city. Sheltered and surrounded by other historic and attractive buildings, these days it seems to be more of a temporary (at least I hope so) dwelling place for the homeless.

    Located at the base of the Porto Cathedral, is this ornate fountain, that is in a little disrepair, however it adds to the beauty to the area.

    A lovely fountain that once served the locals with fresh water, we especially like the clam shells with the fish.

    A gorgeous underused park with beautiful plantings, sculptures, many decorative fountains, views of the Douro River, very tall old trees, picnic tables. A serene and beautiful place to stroll, well cared for and comfortable walking paths.

    This is a nice fountain in a large park, that can be found on the way back to central Porto. Well worth a look.

    Porto is beautiful all year round but it is particularly beautiful during the Autumn months. 🍁😍

    Sit at one of the many tables close to the fountain of Aliados and soak in all the beauty of the city centre. The charming old buildings, stone streets, cafes, and more.

    Try catch it close to sunset for an especially incredible view of the Porto skyline against these buildings.

    Then wander off and explore all the other exquisite sights and sounds this city has to offer.

    This fountain displays the statue of Angel St. Miguel over a small ornate column. Unfortunately, there was no flowing water when we passed it, which gave a sad look to the monument, otherwise beautiful.
