Elle se situe au centre du village, c'est une ancienne forge et l'on y voit encore le support du suffione, le grand soufflet de cuir. C'est une construction simple et utilitaire, faite d'une seule voûte en plein cintre comme tous les pagliaghji de Balagne. En ruine, elle a été restaurée dans l'état où elle était et transformée en fontaine publique. Elle est ornée d'un bas relief sculpté par Toni Casalonga dans du marbre de Carrara, représentant par le moyen de différents visages une allégorie des quatre saisons.
