Fonte Phoenix Spring
In Goa lies a hidden gem that whispers tales of a bygone era – the Fonte Phoenix Spring. This natural spring, nestled at the foot of Altinho Hill, is the essence of Fontainhas, Goa's charming Latin Quarter. As you meander through the narrow, cobblestone streets, the vibrant hues of the Portuguese-style houses seem to dance around you, but it's the Fonte Phoenix that stands as a testament to the area's rich history. This mid-19th century stepwell-like structure is more than just a source of water; it's a symbol of resilience and community. The water seeps in through porous laterite stone, a gentle reminder of the natural beauty that once sustained the entire neighborhood. Here, amidst the colorful facades and overhanging balconies, you can almost hear the whispers of the past, making Fonte Phoenix a must-visit for anyone seeking to experience the authentic soul of Goa.
