There has always been the water cult in Ulcinj. It is believed that the image of Bindus, the Illyrian God of water and the sea,  was carved into the walls of the Old Town. Many fountains used to be built in the area of this town for people's use,but for the souls of the dead too. A legend says that it is better to make a fountain than a sacral building. Therefore, in the town only there used to be more than 30 of them. Today there is just half of it.
