The historic "Canalotto Water Fountain," made of carved limestone with a shell-shaped basin and a large collection basin, is part of the hydraulic system of the Masseria di Monte Mimiani, once a Moncada fiefdom, and quenched not only the masseria but also the village of Marianopoli. Although its exact origins are undocumented, the "Canalotto Water" system dates back to at least the 17th and 18th centuries, and in 1955, hydraulic and forestry development projects began in the area. Today, the restored fountain is one of the few traditional artefacts still perfectly legible along the historic route connecting San Cataldo to Marianopoli.
