Fuente de la Hispanidad, Contemporary fountain in Plaza de Nuestra Señora del Pilar, Spain
The fountain features a large water cascade flowing into a pond shaped like South America, with three white marble blocks representing Columbus's ships.
Architect Ricardo Usón García designed this monument in 1991 as part of the preparations for the 500th anniversary of Columbus's arrival in America.
The water elements and architectural forms combine to create a representation of Latin America, including a detailed outline of the Yucatan Peninsula.
The fountain occupies a central position in the plaza, providing visitors with multiple viewing angles near the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Pillar.
A concrete globe measuring 3.10 meters in diameter stands alongside the fountain, representing the four continents beyond South America.
