Fonte da Vila is one of Castelo de Vide's best-known fountains, set in a small square near the old Jewish quarter. It is not grand in the capital-city sense, but it fits the town perfectly: marble, worn stone, running water and tight lanes around it.
The fountain also helps explain why Castelo de Vide feels greener and softer than many Alentejo towns. Water is part of the town's identity, not just a practical detail.
