Its name suggests that it was considered a sacred spring, and it must have been the destination of a procession from the nearby church, along with the statue of the saint. It is said that the priest blessed the water directly from the fountain, which would then fill the holy water font. No evidence of its healing properties seems to have survived.
Further down, 50 meters, is a rather impressive pool, surely fed by the fountain.
