The FONTE MONTECESA or DEL BORGO is located in a side street which, going down is to the right, of the Costa del Borgo. It is located against the rear wall of the houses on one side of the coast. This too has bows like that of the Guazzatore

FONTE MAGNA is the most important and well-known spring in Osimo and perhaps one of the oldest because it was there even before the Romans. It was a semi-cylindrical concrete cistern with a diameter of twelve meters and five or six meters high. It was once covered. Drinking water flows here perpetually. For years this source has supplied the people of Osimans with water and historical events that took place in its vicinity are told. In medieval times it was even polluted so as not to allow enemies to use it. Many secret tunnels that were under the houses of Osimane reached the source and the inhabitants of the city came out from a hidden door close to it, and identifiable even today, to supply themselves with water without being seen and thus face the enemy sieges.

The SOURCE of via GUAZZATORE is located in the upper part of the street from which it takes its name, right at the beginning of the bend, and has five beautiful arches. Osimo is rich in millenary or centennial springs built around the springs that flow at the foot of the hill on which our city stands. They have a great historical and social value as they served to supply the inhabitants of the historic center, the suburbs, the villages and some hamlets with water. Some were also used as public wash houses and were therefore equipped with basins and stone surfaces for washing. Others, on the other hand, had a simple shed or arches to shelter the washerwomen from the sun and rain.
