According to the sign, the construction of these fountains dates back to 1775. However, the tiles don't look that old but I couldn't find any information about restoration works having been done.
Sempre que lá passo alegro a vista e fico com pena de não poder parar para tirar uma foto, caso tenha uma máquina à mão. Estou a ver que também és sensível a estas pequenas coisas. Obrigada pelo prazer de ver as fotos, sou uma amadora, mas amante de fotografia, theo

What a gem.
Blogger is giving me trouble, also. But not to worry, these are two beautiful shots! I'm always impressed by the tile work in your beautiful city!
That tile work is beyond magnificent! Bravo, Jose'!
This is beautiful and it so much reminds me of a very similar tile work that I saw in a park in Mendoza Argentina.
What a gorgeous wall! What's the story it's telling?
quelle mosaique, elle est magnifique et ce bleu....
Gorgeous fountains - great photos. Blue and green is a pleasing combination.
Blogger has been on the blink lately.
Do they have a minima stretch righty? How difficult was this?

Wonderful doesn't is an inflated word for this masterpiece. I hope you'll be soon able to post the other part.
So it's historical too. How marvellous a place to sit and relax or ponder...
