This spring structure is originally from the 19th Century but it was recently renovated featuring a pleasant space for picnics, with several tables and benches. It it said to be the most popular spring of the municipality even if the water is not tested as suitable for drinking. Accordingly to the tradition, it brings good luck to come to the spring house and use its water on the Saint John's day, in June.
