Fuente de los Caños, Avilés, Renaissance fountain in Avilés, Spain.
The fountain presents six human heads mounted on a stone wall, with water flowing through pipes into an oval-shaped central basin.
The fountain construction resulted from water channeling efforts in Avilés during the late 16th century to address public health concerns.
Three heraldic shields adorn the fountain: two Avilés coats of arms on the sides and the Kingdom of Castile's arms in the center.
Located between Ferrera Palace and San Nicolás de Bari Church, the fountain remains accessible to visitors throughout the historical district.
The rectangular basin transforms into an oval shape in its center, creating a specific architectural design from the 17th century.
