Ponts Ice Well
This recently restored underground construction was discovered by accident in 1973 upon restoration of the walls of the adjacent church and renovation of the church courtyard. This well has a circular floor and is covered by a hemispherical domed vault, which is crowned by a small quadrangular-shaped skylight, designed both to illuminate the interior of the well and fill up the top with ice.
Location: on the Northern side of the parish church of Sta. Maria.
