Fontaine de l'eau bénite

The Fontaine de l'eau bénite in Aix-en-Provence stands as a relic of the city's long-standing connection to its subterranean springs. Known as a city of water, Aix-en-Provence relies on an extensive network of fountains that evolved from Roman-era aqueducts to manage the local water supply. This particular fountain marks one of the many points where that water emerges into the public view.
