A charming little attraction — be sure to find the small golden ring and turn it clockwise with your left hand; good luck will come your way.

There's a myth that you can turn a golden ring 3 times to wish for love and prosperity.

As the name suggests it’s a beautiful fountain. During Easter time they do a local market!

I went during the day, there was a marathon competition, so there were a lot of people. But I didn't forget to stop and take a picture here because it was beautiful and eye-catching. I saw people spinning the rings on the iron gate and wondered why they were spinning.

My favorite fountain in the city by far. I dare to say my favorite fountain in the world. I mean, just look at it. It's fabulous. The height, the carvings, the colors, the gold, the water, the ironwork... Talk about iron work, there is a ring in the ironwork. You need to turn it all the way around for good luck. It's not that easy to see, but if you wait a while, you will surely see someone climb the steps, stretch and reach up and turn that ring. It's in the part of the fencing that faces the souvenir store on the corner, if that helps. Story has it that the blacksmith creating the surrounding fence, had a beautiful daughter. The blacksmith's apprentice fell in love with her and asked for her hand in marriage. The father turned him down, angrily belittling the young man telling hi he would never amount to anything and simply wasn't good enough to marry his daughter. So the young man secretly installed this ring into the ironwork, which at this time was unbelievably skillful, as there were no seams in the ring and not one could figure out how he had done this. When the blacksmith saw this he changed his mind, because a young lad with such talent surely would go far in life and could provide a good life for his daughter. Alas the apprentice had disappeared over night, never to be seen again.
