"The current Fonte dos Pisões was built by the Tourism Initiative Commission in 1931, to replace another tank that had once existed there. Designed by José da Fonseca, it has a semicircular stepped predella flanked by two large vases. Its centre displays a large exuberant polychrome circle containing a low relief tile panel manufactured by the Fábrica Cerâmica Constância − Lisboa, depicting a scene in which putti drink water and carry pitchers among the foliage. Reference should be made to the inscription Salve from which a ribbed cup emerges."
