Visit Aqua de Cento – A Hidden Gem in Lefke, North Cyprus Fountain

If you ever find yourself wandering through the charming town of Lefke in North Cyprus, let me take you to one of my favorite hidden gems – the Aqua de Cento Fountain, also known locally as the Acendu Fountain. Tucked away near the Karşıyaka Bridge, this centuries‑old stone fountain tells the story of Lefke’s past and still flows with life today. Tucked away near the Karşıyaka Bridge, this centuries‑old stone fountain tells the story of Lefke’s past and still flows with life today. A Little Bit of HistoryBack in the 15th and 16th centuries, during the Venetian rule of Cyprus, Lefke didn’t have a reliable water supply. That changed when a Venetian commander named Cento built an aqueduct to bring fresh water into town. The fountain became known as Aqua de Cento (meaning “Water of Cento”), and over time locals began calling it Acendu. Even after hundreds of years, the fountain still provides water, especially to the surrounding orange groves that make Lefke so green and fragrant. Why You Should VisitFor me, Aqua de Cento is not just a fountain – it’s a piece of living history. When you stand here, you’re standing in the same spot where people once came to collect water during the Venetian era. The municipality and local tourism society have carefully restored the fountain, so today it’s safe and welcoming for visitors. What I love most is that it’s not just a monument – it’s still part of the daily life of the town. What to ExpectA beautiful stone fountain surrounded by gardens and orchards. A quiet, authentic part of Lefke where you can pause, take photos, or just breathe in the atmosphere. Friendly locals who are often happy to share stories about the area. If you’re lucky, you might even catch the scent of fresh oranges drifting through the air. Nearby Places to ExploreYour visit to Aqua de Cento can be part of a wonderful day out in Lefke. I always recommend combining it with: Soli Ancient City – Roman ruins with a breathtaking amphitheater. Vouni Palace – A hilltop archaeological site with stunning sea views. Local Slow Food Cafés – Perfect for enjoying traditional Cypriot dishes made with fresh village ingredients. Final ThoughtsWhen guiding visitors through Lefke, Aqua de Cento is one of the spots I love most. It’s simple, authentic, and connects you directly with the heart of this town. So if you’re planning a trip to North Cyprus, don’t just stick to the beaches – make time to wander inland, discover Lefke, and drink in the stories that flow as freely as the water from Aqua de Cento.
