Fontana originated from the suburb of Victoria on the Rabat-Xlendi road. It took its local name, "It-Triq tal-Ghajn" (the way to the spring), from a spring at the bottom of the road leading to Xlendi, known locally as "l-Ghajn il- Kbira", (the big spring). Fontana is the Italian word for a spring. On the lower part of Fontana, on the right-hand side of the road to Xlendi, one cannot help but notice the evergreen Lunzjata Valley going up to the village of Ta' Kercem. Local farmers are busy around the year in this fertile part of Gozo.
