On Place Richelme there is a small fountain with a sculpture of a bronze Boar in the center. This is a copy of the famous work by Pietro Tassa, the original of which is installed in Florence. One legend is connected with this very boar, according to which, once upon a time, a wild and very ferocious boar ran into the city. Frightened residents hid in their homes, afraid to stick their noses out into the street. But one little boy bravely went out to the fierce beast and simply stroked his muzzle.
