Public Watering Trough

The public watering trough provided water to the working animals which entered or left the town during the last century. These troughs were built at the beginning of the 20th century and restored in 2005. We can find two examples in Artá: one is located in Almudaina Mountain, in the street named after this particular infrastructure, Abeurador street. It consists of a stone sink which is flanked by two polygonal pillars. These pillars are topped by a cornice which is sustained on cantilevers. The wall under the cornice is built out of irregular stone blocks. The other example is located in Son Servera street. This water trough consists of a long rectangular sink framed by two columns. A ceiling seems to be missing. Both the sink and the columns are covered in stone. Finally, we also find a cylindrical small stone sink over a partially preserved stone pavement.
