Edificada em 1781, pela Câmara Municipal (protectora dos interesses da população no que diz respeito ao abastecimento da água), esta fonte (um dos símbolos da vila de Borba), é Monumento Nacional desde 1910.



A Fonte das Bicas tinha o objectivo de ser um monumento a Borba, pelo uso dos mármores, e pela reconstituição do lago onde, segundo a lenda, se achou o barbo que deu o nome à vila.



Pela novidade que trouxe ao Alentejo, a Fonte das Bicas foi modelo para outras fontes monumentais que depois dela surgiram na região
