A Hidden Gem Fonte dos Pisões, a charming fountain tucked away in Sintra, is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. Though we only passed by, its intricate design and serene atmosphere immediately caught our attention. A Work of Art The fountain's intricate tilework and decorative elements create a visually stunning piece. The central statue, surrounded by colorful mosaics, adds a touch of elegance. The peaceful ambiance, enhanced by the gentle trickle of water, makes it a perfect spot to relax and admire the craftsmanship. A Local Landmark While Fonte dos Pisões may not be as well-known as some of Sintra's other attractions, it's definitely worth a visit. Its unique charm and tranquil setting offer a refreshing break from the bustling tourist areas. A Serene Escape If you're exploring Sintra and find yourself in the area, be sure to stop by Fonte dos Pisões. This hidden gem offers a peaceful escape and a chance to appreciate the beauty of Sintra's lesser-known attractions.

There are a handful of decorative fountains that you will see along various streets while exploring the Historic Centre of Sintra. One such fountain is called Fonte dos Piscoes (1931). It is located along Ave. Almeida Garret just a few minutes walk from the Quinta de Regaleira. Fonte dos Piscoes has a mostly light yellow colour with various tile patterns including the centre pattern with blue and orange tiles along with a bas-reliefs of playful cherubs just above a single spout which spills water into a small basin just below and a larger on at ground level. During our recent visit water was pouring from the spout and spilling into a basin below, many visitors were topping up their water bottles, as did we. The fresh water tasted delicious.

A actual Fonte dos Pisões foi erigida pela Comissão de Iniciativa de Turismo de Sintra, em 1931, e substituiu anterior tanque, com cronologia remontável, pelo menos, à era de quinhentos, subsistindo a memória documental de ali se terem efectuado trabalhos de beneficiação já em 1651, aquando da visita de D. Luísa de Gusmão a Sintra: «Fontes — Item Com os oficiais E trabalhadores q Consertarão a fonte (...) dos pisões E a limparão».

O fontanário existente foi projectado pelo Mestre José da Fonseca e desenvolve-se a partir de estrutura semi-circular, à qual se acede através de escadeado baixo. O espaldar, ladeado por bancos corridos, está profusamente ornado com coloridos motivos geometrizantes insculpidos na própria argamassa. Ao centro, rasga-se grande círculo enquadrado pelo rectilíneo alteamento do frontal patenteando painéis azulejares, assinados pela F.CA Ceramica Constancia — Lisboa, de polícroma e rotunda ornamentação.

Ali, naquela circunferência, desenvolve-se o frontal propriamente dito, de inspiração renascentista, inscrito em conjunto cerâmico e conjugando fundos lisos e friso florais, de onde emerge baixo-relevo, no qual, por entre folhagem, se animam putti, sentados numa elevação, bebendo água ou carreando pequenas bilhas e, ao centro, um outro, de pé, segura uma faixa onde se lê: SALVE. Trata-se, pois, de um elogio à água, à salubérrima água de Sintra.

Logo abaixo desta animada composição escultórica, o “monte” que sustém os putti transmuda-se na parte superior da bica por onde corre, abundante, o fresco e cristalino líquido que cai em gomada taça rectangular que, por sua vez, liberta a água para o bem aguachado tanque rasteiro destinado aos animais.

Segundo o Padre Sebastião Nunes Borges, na respectiva Memória Paroquial de 22 de Abril de 1758, a Fonte dos Pisões situava-se na saída da estrada de Sintra para Colares e apresentava uma maior corrente no Inverno, regando a sua água os pomares cimeiros, sendo aproveitada pela maioria dos...
