Lion's fountain, Hot spring fountain in Caldes de Montbui, Spain.

The Lion's Fountain features a carved stone lion head through which mineral-rich thermal water flows at temperatures reaching 74 degrees Celsius.

Romans established thermal baths around this natural spring in the first century, marking the beginning of Caldes de Montbui as a thermal destination.

Local residents gather at the fountain during traditional festivities, maintaining centuries-old customs of collecting thermal water for domestic and therapeutic purposes.

Visitors can fill containers with the mineral-rich water daily between 7 AM and 10 PM, following posted safety guidelines for handling hot water.

The fountain's water contains high levels of fluoride, sodium, and chloride, making it particularly effective for treating bone and joint conditions.
