Located outside the Cocentaina gate, the fountain was built to replace the famous 11th century Islamic drinking trough that was removed and relocated to the City Hall in 1788. However, the new wall fountain was not finished until 1806, in neo-Classical style, with a large central mask and twelve spouts on either side. One hundred years later it was restored by the architect José Acuña, who changed the corners of the trough into right angles.

This fountain presides over the Plaça de la Trinitat square, in one of the most charming parts of the old quarter, and is one of the few Gothic fountains that have been preserved in the Region of Valencia. It dates back to the last third of the 15th century, and the originally polychrome octagonal basin shows the city’s coats of arms and those of the Kingdom in alternation.

A royal fountain must have existed in the Plaza de Roca square since at least 1422, when the new Santa water channel was built. The present fountain was constructed in 1841. With a centralised plan, the fountain has an elongated, semi-circular bowl and a hexagonal stone column, clearly Gothic and no doubt fashioned using the earlier fountain.

Many of the fountains had to be renewed because of their great age and poor condition. Such was the case of the Real de Sant Francesc fountain, located in the square of the same name and cited in the Llibre de Repartiment de la Sequia de Bellús in 1680. It was rebuilt in 1764 by the stonemason Marcos Piqueres in Baroque style. There is an image of Saint Francis above the basin, replacing the original one that disappeared in the late 19th century.

This fountain also has a centralised plan, and was designed so that animals could drink from the basin while people could drink from the four spouts. It dates from the mid-19th century, and was originally created for the Plaza de la Bassa square, but was later moved to its current location in 1972.
