A beautiful 17th-century fountain

A journey to the Spanish Pyrenees—Zaragoza (region) This fountain is composed of a long series of scroll-like illustrations, divided into equal columns. Water pipes extend from the mouth of a blurred face, with water swiftly flowing into a stone basin. At the center, there is a taller decorative band engraved with the town's emblem. The houses neatly arranged on both sides and behind it create a wonderful frame around the fountain. Undoubtedly, its neighbors can always hear the eternal song of its waters. It was once the main water supply system for the people of Daroca, but today, although it has lost this primary function, it remains an important landmark for Daroca—not only for its residents but also for all travelers. As A. Machado wrote: "In the solitude of the park, the loud sound of water / bubbling couplets / leads me to the fountain..." This is exactly what happens to all of us who visit this small town, even if we amusingly forget it.
