A Legend Carved in Stone
The gleaming white Fountain of Manole marks the spot where, according to Romanian legend, master builder Manole fell after completing the nearby Curtea de Argeș Monastery. Villagers say a spring rose from the ground where he landed, and that same spring still feeds the fountain seen here today.
A Historic Monument
The current structure dates to 1804, commissioned by Bishop Iosif of Argeș, though records of a fountain on this site stretch back to 1524. It is registered among the protected historic monuments of Argeș County.
