Beautiful detail of the Onofrio`s Fountain in Dubrovnik, Croatia
Built from 1438 to 1440, the Big Onofrio`s Fountain in Dubrovnik is a sixteen-sided container with a cupola, and was one of the ending points of the aqueduct system. Each of the sixteen sides has a unique `maskeron` design stone-carved masked face with the faucet projecting out of the mouth of the each design. Unfortunately the maskerons have been damaged during one of the recent repairs done to the fountain. The fountain`s cupola was made by Petar Martinov from Milan.
