About Rimondi Fountain
Ornate Venetian fountain built in 1626 with three lion-head spouts still flowing with mountain spring water. The fountain served as the main water source for Rethymno's old town for centuries. Corinthian columns and Latin inscriptions commemorate Governor Rimondi who commissioned it.
Insider Tips
Fill your water bottle from the lion spouts as locals do - the water comes from the same springs that supplied the Venetians.
