Leaning fountain, traces of which can be found in 1851. First fountain in the village built in the upper part near the watchtower.
During the treading of the wheat, which at that time was carried out "in the Aires", it allowed the labourers and the inhabitants of the upper part of the village to quench their thirst and refresh themselves. In this street, on the way down to the village, there is still a wash-house, nowadays transformed into a flowerpot, but which can be recognized by the beautiful stones of its curbstone.
