The Da Ponte Fountain is a charming stone fountain dating from 1666, located in the heart of Koper's old town. Built by the Venetian governor, it features a rectangular basin with a central column adorned with the Lion of St. Mark, reflecting the city's Venetian past. The fountain is a favorite spot for visitors to snap photos and rest, surrounded by historic buildings and cafes. Its weathered stone and flowing water add to the old-world atmosphere.
