La Fuentona natural monument, Natural spring monument in Soria Province, Spain.
The Abión River emerges from a circular lagoon measuring 30 meters in diameter and 9 meters deep, forming a natural pool of underground water.
Archaeological evidence indicates continuous human presence near La Fuentona since the Bronze Age, with settlements developing around this water source through medieval times.
The water formation inspired Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer to write 'The Green Eyes,' a poem incorporating local folklore about water spirits dwelling in the depths.
A marked hiking trail extends 3.2 kilometers from the parking area at Muriel de la Fuente to the spring, passing through forests and limestone formations.
The underground water system includes a 54-meter-deep siphon connecting to an extensive network of submerged caves extending over 200 meters horizontally.
