The fountain abuts the main floor of a residence, underneath a verandah, which also doubled as covering/awning.
It is alongside the western wall of the Largo da Alfândega and oriented towards the support wall of the Rua Nova da Alfândega.

On either side of the fountain are two ribbed pilasters that extend into the corbels of the veranda.
Between these pilasters are five granite slabs, with the iron waterspout located in the second slab.
Another exit point is along the pavement in granite, which takes the form of a small semi-circular pillar.
The pavement of the fountain, in granite, is relative to the Rua de Miragaia, three steps above the fountain.

Between the corbels, and below the veranda, is an inscription slab, with the words "Loubado seja o Santíssimo Sacramento e a Puríssima Conceição da Virgem Nossa Senhora, concebida sem pecado original - 1629" (Exalted is the Holy Sacrament and Pure Conception of the Our Virgin Lady, conceived without original sin (1629)).
