Preparatory works are underway for the restoration of the Small Onofrio Fountain, with the project expected to last 60 working days.

The Society of Friends of Dubrovnik Antiquities has initiated restoration efforts on the Small Onofrio Fountain, as its current infrastructure is in poor condition due to corrosion and lime buildup, necessitating urgent repairs. The restoration will include thorough cleaning of the pipelines, replacement of damaged water pipes and faulty components, and a complete overhaul of the water recirculation system. Additionally, the water meter chamber will be reconstructed to improve access for maintenance.

Simultaneously, conservation and restoration works will be carried out to prevent further damage and preserve the historical and artistic value of the fountain. These works will involve replacing nozzles and restoring stone details, all performed under expert supervision and in compliance with conservation guidelines.

The main project documentation for the restoration and maintenance of the Small Onofrio Fountain was prepared by Studio Vetma arh d.o.o., led by chief designer Matko Vetma, and has received approval from the Ministry of Culture and Media, Directorate for the Protection of Cultural Heritage, and the Conservation Department in Dubrovnik. Construction and craft works will be handled by Građevinar Quelin d.d., while authorized conservator Ivka Lipanović will execute the conservation and restoration works.
