Historic? I think 'old' is the only thing that can be determined from 
the photo?


> that IMHO clearly is decorative, that stuff in the background doesn’t seem to be there by incident. Maybe it is also a historic watering place (seems small for this)? Not knowing the context I cannot tell you for sure what it is. amenity=fountain doesn’t seem off. Many “decorative” fountains also had utility.


I don't think the stream of water is the most useful feature .. it is 
the water in the trough for animals to drink from .. horses, donkeys .. 
etc.. I am assuming the lower structure contains some level of water 
simply by its shape.
