The Basilisk, as that is what this strange creature is, is the heraldic guardian and emblem of Basel, Switzerland. This mythical creature is most depicted as a reptile, and is reputed to be the king of all serpents. One of the most feared of all mythological beasts, a basilisk is said to have the power to cause death with a single glance. It is often described as a beast of 3 parts. A dragon, with a snake’s tail and a cockerel’s head. The creature features on the Basel city seal, and can be found in different guises throughout the city, particularly on fountains - as shown here on the Dreizack, or Neptune Fountain.

Big Onofrio’s Fountain, at the western end of Stradun in Dubrovnik, Dubrovnik-Neretva County, Dalmatia, Croatia, was built in 1438 by Onofrio della Cava as part of the city’s medieval aqueduct system. The circular stone fountain originally had 16 carved mascarons pouring fresh water. Damaged in the 1667 earthquake and again during the 1991–1992 Siege of Dubrovnik, it was later restored and remains a functional landmark near Pile Gate.
