Lion's fountain, Hot spring fountain in Caldes de Montbui, Spain.
The Lion's Fountain is a hot spring fountain in Caldes de Montbui featuring a carved stone lion head as the water outlet. Mineral-rich thermal water flows from it at approximately 74 degrees Celsius (165 degrees Fahrenheit).
Romans discovered the power of this natural thermal spring in the first century and built public baths around it. This established Caldes de Montbui as an early thermal destination for healing and leisure.
The fountain serves as a gathering place during local celebrations where people maintain long-standing traditions of collecting and using thermal water for health and household needs. It remains an important part of village life and identity.
The fountain allows visitors to fill containers with mineral water daily from 7 AM to 10 PM. Be aware of the hot temperature and follow safety guidelines posted at the site to avoid burns.
The water has notably high concentrations of fluoride, sodium, and chloride that make it particularly effective for bone and joint issues. People specifically seek it out for these therapeutic properties, giving the fountain a specialized healing reputation.
