The fountain known as Granfonte was built in 1652 at the behest of Prince Placido Branciforti, in the same place there was already an Arab fountain called "Fonte di Tavi". The project follows the Flemish Baroque style then very popular on the island. The fountain became the center of the community by supplying water through its twenty-four mouths. The same water supplied the fountains of the botanical garden. The drainage channel connected to the main basin was used, until recently, as a public wash house.
