The "di a Leccia" fountain, built in 1559 by Maestro Paulo, combines fountain, washhouse and drinking trough. Restored in 1853 and again in the 20th century, it is located on the road between Corbara and Pigna. Its vaulted aedicula preserves period inscriptions and sculptures.Located at the bottom of the village, on the local road linking Corbara to Pigna, the fountain known as "A Funtana di a Leccia" is one of the oldest watering places in the village.
Erected in 1559 by Maestro Paulo, as the inscription engraved on the aedicula indicates, it combined several uses essential to daily life: a fountain, a washhouse and a watering place for animals.
The ensemble comprises two vaults: the first housing the fountain and its basin, the second the wash-house. The inscription M.P.A.V.L.O.X.+ can still be seen on the pediment of the main vault. On one of the pillars, a jug carved in the shape of an ancient vase accompanies another inscription: 1559 P.AN.L.
Over time, the fountain has benefited from several restorations, notably in 1853 and then during the XX? century, which have helped preserve this precious testimony to rural heritage.
Today, the "di a Leccia" fountain retains all its historical value and serves as a reminder of the importance of water in community life in days gone by.
