AG102
Pou (Well) Square

The first known mention comes from the Population Charter of 1611, but at that time the well was already in operation; therefore, we can trace the toponym back to at least the beginning of the 17th century or the end of the 16th century. We know that in the neighboring Alfara the well was built on February 16, 1601, by Francesc Nunyes, master of wells in Valencia.

An underground conduit along the current Blas Gil Street took the water from the ditch to the well, which would not have much depth given the slight difference in level between the square and the ditch.
