Fountain of the Rosello
The Fountain of the Rosello is a fountain in Sassari, Sardinia, Italy, considered the symbol of the city. It is located at the end of the Rosello valley next to the ancient district of the city.
History
It was built between 1603 and 1606 by Genoese craftsmen on the site of a preexisting source along the valley. To bring the water from the Rosello to the houses was a team of 300 water carriers that filled their barrels that they loaded on the pack saddle of their donkeys.
The fountain was also used by the housekeepers to wash garments and laundry.
