Morosini Fountain - Fountains on Waymarking.com

Morosini Fountain is located on Venizelou square in Heraklion, Crete.

Designed in the same style as the Piazza San Marco in Venice, the Morosini Fountain is the highlight of the square. It was built in 1628 by the Venetians and named after the Venetian governor (Francesco Morosini)during that time. The lions on the fountain pre-date the rest of the structure by 100 years.

The fountain was built to commemorate an impressive Venetian construction which brought drinking water to Iraklion from Mount Youktas, a distance of 15km.
