La Fuentecilla, Cultural heritage fountain in central Madrid, Spain
La Fuentecilla stands as a granite monument with three water spouts flowing into a basin, decorated with Madrid's coat of arms and animal figures.
The fountain emerged in 1815 during Fernando VII's reign as part of Madrid's water infrastructure improvements to serve the growing population needs.
The neoclassical structure features decorative elements including a terrestrial globe, dragon, bear, lion, and the seven stars of Madrid on white marble.
Located at the intersection of Toledo and Arganzuela streets, the fountain remains accessible for visitors exploring Madrid's historical district.
This structure holds the distinction of being the first monument-fountain constructed in Madrid, combining both decorative and functional purposes.
