Tritones Fountain, Madrid, Baroque fountain in Campo del Moro gardens, Madrid, Spain.
The Tritones Fountain features three elderly figures of tritons supporting vessels and plates, positioned around a three-tiered marble column with decorative bowls.
The fountain was initially constructed in 1657 for the Island Garden in Aranjuez before its relocation to Campo del Moro gardens in Madrid during 1846.
French traveler Bertaut documented the fountain's water displays in 1669, contributing to its recognition among European artistic monuments of the period.
The fountain stands in the Campo del Moro gardens near the Royal Palace, with recent improvements allowing visitors to view it from multiple entrance points.
The proportions of the nymphs decorating the fountain differ from Italian designs, indicating Spanish craftsmanship despite similarities to Sicilian and Bernini works.
