Dr. Sena street fountain
Fountain created by the plastic artist José Vitor. Built of bricks and mortar. It was intended to supply and distribute water in São Gonçalo do Bação at the beginning of the 20th century. XX, before the water channeling phase in all residences. Currently, this fountain, in front of the beautiful house of José Vitor, is part of an important artistic and architectural complex in Itabirito at Dr. Sena street. Notice the part of the wall made with the same material. It has a more simplified design to those on the fountains on Cruzeiro and Areal streets. Located on the public promenade, opposite the ruin of the Casa de José Vitor, it comprises a base (floor) and a wall in brick masonry coated with smooth mortar. The wall has an upper finish in the shape of an ogival arch, it maintains the point where the faucet was installed. It is 1.15m tall. The base is raised 5cm in relation to the sidewalk, which is not finished.
