Roman fountain of Poyatos

The so-called Roman fountain of Poyatos stands at the village exit towards Santa María del Val. Hollows in its stone were worn by vessels resting there over many years, and it also served for washing: below is a broader basin holding water.

Leaving Poyatos towards Santa María del Val is a fountain locally called Roman. Use is its clearest feature: the stone has worn hollows where water jars rested for filling over the years. Below, a wider basin served as a washhouse. It was the daily place for water, women with laundry and conversation.
