There is news of this fountain as early as 1151, but in its current form it dates from 1852, although the original project was never completed. The stone used in its construction came from an old obelisk that was in the wall of the old road from Poblet to Vimbodí. The number of pipes was also increased from the current 11 to 17 (one pipe for each letter of the town where it is located). Originally the pipes were made of bronze, but they were stolen in 1954 and replaced by iron ones.

He points out that it already existed in 1151, following A. Altisent. It was linked to the Font Major.

Its facade was rebuilt in 1852, it went from the existing 11 canelas to the current 17. The work was done in youth.

The stone was taken from an obelisk built by the Poblet monastery on the wall of the old road from Poblet to Vimbodí that had been erected in 1736 and dedicated to the martyrs of Alzira st. Bernat, Sta. Maria and Sta. grace

The original construction project of the fountain was not completed.

In 1954 the council agreed to finish the works on the fountain: they finished the barbican with the coat of arms of the town, put new bronze shins and placed stone balls on each of the pilasters.

The bronze shins were stolen in 1956 and replaced by the current cast iron ones
