Jesús Pobre

El Pou del Pare Pere

In the town centre of Jesús Pobre, behind the house that stands at number 1 of the street called Carrer de Les Eres, there is a small public space with a heritage element.

It is a closed well, with a cylindrical curb, 2.30 metres in diameter and 1.80 metres in height. The construction is of masonry blocks with lime mortar; on the outside, it is covered with plaster and painted completely white. The roof is made with three crossed tree branches, which on the outside appear halfway between a dome and a pyramid. This cover makes the total height of the well 2.75 metres.

The well has a single opening, to the south, 85 centimetres wide and 90 centimetres high, closed by an iron grate. The jambs of this gap are made of pumice stone, while in the lintel one can partially observe another wooden beam, a tree branch.

Inside, next to the door and to the west, there is a small sink. The water that it collects falls outside into another pumice stone sink, rectangular, which is 90 centimetres by 75 centimetres and, approximately, 35 centimetres deep.

This well, known as the well of El Pare Pere, is a communal structure from which all the villagers could gather water. It dates back a few centuries, maybe from the 18th century. In fact, it already appeared in one of the ceramic altarpieces from the second half of the 18th century that one can find inside the convent of Jesús Pobre. In these altarpieces, Pare Pere appears kneeling before Jesús Pobre next to a well, although its appearance is not like what one can currently observe.
