The Fountain of Calvo (Portuguese: Fonte do Calvo) is a public/communal fountain and lavoir in the civil parish of Almalaguês, municipality of Coimbra that has existed for over 100 years, and is integral to the history and culture of the community.
The inhabitants of Almalaguês have systematically restored the fountain and lavoir historically, owing to its reputation for water quality.
Transporting of water was usually completed using clay jars,[3] used by many of the residents, and only replaced in the 20th century by the typical plastic bottles.
The fountain was also the destination of pilgrimages, including a legendary trip on Sunday Mass, where young people took the opportunity to date.
Its centre of community life also allows the congregation of many of residents at the fountain, resulting in many relationships, leading to several marriages.
