The Chafariz d’El Rei, also known as the King's Fountain, is a historic public fountain in the Alfama district of Lisbon. It was built during the reign of King Dinis I, who ruled Portugal from 1279 to 1325. The fountain served as one of the most important water sources for ships docking in the port of Lisbon and for the local residents.

The Chafariz d'El Rei is a historic fountain right on the Tagus River, framed by old houses and the narrow streets of Alfama. Once one of the city's most important water features, it's now a tranquil and eye-catching spot on the riverbank. A lovely place for a short break before continuing your stroll through the labyrinthine old town.
