The Rimondi Fountain has been doing its job for nearly four centuries. It was built in 1626 by Rethymno's Venetian governor, a man called Rimondi. The fountain supplied the city with fresh water and anchored the social life of Platanou Square, which was the heart of the Venetian city at the time.

The fountain is a compact piece of civic theatre: three lion-headed spouts, three basins and three Corinthian columns bearing a Latin inscription. Remarkably, the lions still run with water today, as they have through Ottoman occupation and two world wars.

VoiceMap's self-guided audio tours use the fountain to trace Rethymno's layered Venetian past. They connect it to other surviving details nearby, from a Latin-inscribed doorway dating to 1609 to the old town's narrow alleys, revealing how much of the Renaissance city remains hidden in plain sight.
