The Basilisk, as that is what this strange creature is, is the heraldic guardian and emblem of Basel, Switzerland. This mythical creature is most depicted as a reptile, and is reputed to be the king of all serpents. One of the most feared of all mythological beasts, a basilisk is said to have the power to cause death with a single glance. It is often described as a beast of 3 parts. A dragon, with a snake’s tail and a cockerel’s head. The creature features on the Basel city seal, and can be found in different guises throughout the city, particularly on fountains - as shown here on the Dreizack, or Neptune Fountain.

The Small Onofrio Fountain (Mala Onofrijeva fontana), built between 1438 and 1440 by architect Onofrio della Cava, is located at the eastern end of Dubrovnik’s Stradun. It was part of a revolutionary 15th-century water supply system that brought fresh water from a spring 12 kilometers away. The octagonal fountain features reliefs of playful, stylized human figures, carved in Gothic style, and served both a practical and decorative role.
