Fuente de los Tres Caños, Modernist drinking fountain in Comillas, Spain.
The fountain displays three water spouts emerging from a central column topped with a crown, cross, and decorative dolphin motif.
Architect Lluís Domènech i Montaner designed this public water source in 1899 to honor Don Joaquín del Piélago's contributions to local water infrastructure.
The fountain incorporates Gothic floral patterns and modernist design elements that represent the architectural movement prevalent in late 19th century Spain.
Located in Plaza de Joaquín del Piélago, the fountain provides fresh drinking water to visitors while serving as a central meeting point.
The structure combines functionality with architectural innovation through its triple-tiered design and integrated lamp post feature.
