Pelikaanfontein - Braga

Source: Willem Vandenameele

Description

Pelikaanfontænen er en manieristisk-joanesisk fontæne, der blev designet af skulptøren Marceliano de Araújo.

Fontænen blev bygget mellem 1741 og 1756 og stod oprindeligt i haverne ved ærkebiskoppens palads i Braga. Senere stod fontænen i flere år i Parque da Ponte, indtil den den 30. november 1967 blev flyttet til sin nuværende placering under borgmester Viriato Nunes.

Fontænen består af fem skåle, der er arrangeret i midten af en skål, som er højere end de andre, og flankeres af fire mindre skåle, der er kronet af en skulpturel gruppe og står i et firkantet reservoir, som hviler på en rund base, der danner to trin. Sidstnævnte to elementer blev bygget i det 20. århundrede og blev designet af den kommunale arkitekt Cortez Marques.

Symbolikken er religiøs, knyttet til Pelikannens Legende.
