Detail InformationEdit
The Fountain of Colher (Fonte da Colher), is a fountain in the civil parish of Miragaia, in the municipality of Porto, under the level of the Rua Nova da Alfândega.The name of the fountain came from the imposed collection of payment for the waters. Colher is Portuguese for spoon, which was the measure of payment for all goods sold in Porto (bread, flour, walnuts, etc.), which arrived by land or river.
The fountain abuts the main floor of a residence, underneath a veranda, which also doubled as covering/awning. It is alongside the western wall of the Largo da Alfândega and oriented towards the support wall of the Rua Nova da Alfândega.On either side of the fountain are two ribbed pilasters that extend into the corbels of the veranda.
Between these pilasters are five granite slabs, with the iron waterspout located in the second slab.Another exit point is along the pavement in granite, which takes the form of a small semi-circular pillar.The pavement of the fountain, in granite, is relative to the Rua de Miragaia, three steps above the fountain.
