    The Greco Roman Fountain of Gallipoli is considered the oldest fountain in Italy. There are doubts about its origins, if dating back to the III BC. or in the Renaissance age. Today it is at the Ponte Antico and very ruined. 5 m high, the coats of arms of Gallipoli, Charles III Bourbon and Philip II are represented on it. There are three mythological scenes, the metamorphoses in sources of Dirce, Salmace and Biblide.

      The oldest fountain in Europe... until proven otherwise. Given its fragility (soft Lecce stone and carparo) it is a shame that it is always attacked by atmospheric agents.
