Font del Geni Català, Neoclassical fountain in Ciutat Vella, Spain

The Font del Geni Català features a winged male figure holding a five-pointed star, surrounded by four female statues representing Catalonian provinces.

Architect Francesc Daniel Molina designed this marble fountain in 1856 to honor Marquis of Campo Sagrado for his water management achievements in Barcelona.

The fountain incorporates maritime horses symbolizing four major Catalan rivers: Ebro, Segre, Llobregat, and Ter, reflecting regional geographical significance.

Located at coordinates 41.3828109, 2.183495 in Pla de Palau, this monument stands as a Cultural Asset of Local Interest in Barcelona's historic district.

The central figure underwent multiple modifications to its anatomy following religious concerns, leading to several restorations between 1980 and 2008.
