Blue Fountain


The original fountain was built in 1709, in Sintra, but it collapsed after the 1755 Great Earthquake and it was rebuilt two years later

I like everything about this one.

Love that shade of blue. I can imagine how glorious this looked when originally built or rebuilt. But I would have expected more tiles. :)

Love the blue and the sun. This would look perfect in Versailles! :-)

I wonder why is it called blue... I'm joking, this fountain is beautiful and is really eye-catching!
