O Chafariz de El-Rei, que terá sido o primeiro chafariz público na cidade de Lisboa, terá sido construído no século XIII, nos reinados de D. Afonso III de D. Dinis, aproveitando as excelentes águas da encosta de Alfama.

O encanamento de água da nascente para bicas exteriores à chamada Cerca Moura datará de 1487, permitindo o abastecimento dos navios da carreira da Índia.

A actual fachada data de 1864, tendo sido rematada a platibanda e colocados os pináculos e urnas, numa composição arquitectónica classicista.

Chegou a ter nove bicas em funcionamento. Cada bica era exclusiva de um grupo social, não esquecendo os mareantes.
