The Fonte dos Leões (Lion fountain) sits in the square next to the Igreja dos Carmos. Built in the 19th century, this octagonal Romanesque marble fountain features 4 lion statues, although they are actually appear a little griffin-like with their wings.
The backdrop are the wonderful azulejos of the Carmo church. Dating back to 1912 these tiles depict the founding of the Carmelite Order and Mount Carmel.
