The fountain, built in 1628, is a central meeting point for both locals and visitors. Works are currently underway to preserve and restore the monument.

Despite the works, Lions Square remains accessible and the surrounding cafes and shops continue to operate normally. Visitors are encouraged to check local updates before planning a visit to the site.
