At the fountain, the ancient residents fetched water, bathed and washed clothes, at least until the first decades of the 20th century. It was an old social gathering place. Today the historic site is visually abandoned, in need of targeted cleaning and heritage revitalization.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Of all the alleys, this one is the longest: it starts at Church Square (or Padre Bernardo Firmino Square), next to the fork of Rosalino Alley. From there, it goes downhill until it reaches the place where the Great Fountain used to be. It is an interconnection path between the Church Square (or Padre Benedito Firmino Square)\u00a0 and the top of Padre Ant\u00f4nio C\u00e2ndido Street.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Marked by the dry stone walls at the back of the backyard areas, on one side corresponding to that of the Moura Lima Manor, many sections are still clad in original irregular stones. It is interesting to note that the alley used to be a disposal area for domestic waste, placed inside metal drums. It keeps a record of ways of living of an unidentified date. As they are half buried in the ground, some exposed objects can be seen. Of incomparable scenic beauty, the vegetation composed of large trees that flank the alley, create a tunnel to the lowest point where the Great Fountain is located, and through which passes a watercourse that fed this area used by washerwomen.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Route with a steep slope over a length of 350 meters.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1060,"parent":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","class_list":["post-1416","atracao","type-atracao","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipo_atracao-alleys","circuito-cultural"],"acf":{"check_url":true},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/saogoncalodobacao.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/atracao\/1416","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/saogoncalodobacao.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/atracao"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/saogoncalodobacao.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/atracao"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saogoncalodobacao.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1416"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/saogoncalodobacao.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1060"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/saogoncalodobacao.com.br\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1416"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
