    The fountain is an impressive structure in the form of a double helix, 53 m deep and 13 m in diameter. Imagine the people who had to walk up and down here with donkeys all day to bring water to the surface.
    The fountain is located directly at the exit of the rack railway and the large visitor parking lot of Orvieto.

    The fountain's name comes from the belief that it represents Saint Patrick's purgatory, with the promise of paradise beyond. The fountain was designed by Florentine Antonio da Sangallo the Younger in 1527 to provide Orvieto with a reliable water supply.
