According to the stone inscription on this fountain, “it started to flow on 5 April 1845”. It was built to ease the water shortage in Gràcia.

Cultural heritage

This is one of the oldest fountains in the neighbourhood and it follows the traditional structure of fountains found in Barcelona since the Middle Ages: slightly set back in the wall with a stone basin the water pours into.
The Noucentista ceramic panels by Salvador Sunet i Urgellès are in the traditional Catalan style: blue, green and orange on a white background. Water pours from the mouths of ornamental heads into the equally ornamental cups that go with the vases on the balustrade above.
