The "di u Sbollaru" fountain is located between the church and Place de l'Ormeau. Sheltered beneath a vaulted ceiling, it feeds a granite basin. Its capricious flow has inspired a proverb about changing moods and broken promises.
Located on the path linking the parish church to the Place de l'Ormeau, the "di u Sbollaru" fountain, also known as the bubbling fountain, is an ancient witness to village life.

Probably built in the XVI? century, it is sheltered by a stone vault and fed by a spring that flows into a granite basin. The overflow then runs off to irrigate the neighboring gardens, once cultivated as vegetable gardens and planted with citrus fruits.

The fountain's flow is capricious: sometimes weak, sometimes abundant, especially after heavy rains. This characteristic has given rise to a well-known proverb. It was said that, like the fountain, some people change their moods or make promises they don't keep. The expression "drink the water of the Sbollaru" meant that one day, they would calm down or return to a better mood.
