The first stamp from this special stamp series shows the popular saying "Roman fountain" on the main square in Friesach. This fountain is called the largest and most beautiful facility in Carinthia. Unfortunately, neither the architect nor the sculptor is known. The fountain belongs to the style of Mannerism and was completed in 1563. The original client is also known: Leonhard von Keutschach, one of the richest men in the country. He had this fountain, made of stone and bronze, made for his magnificent Tanzenberg Castle. It is also not known why the fountain had to leave its first location, but since 1802 it has been standing on the main square of Friesach, where it can be admired by anyone.
