Fuente de los Ilustres, Logroño, Bronze fountain at Gran Via intersection, Logroño, Spain.
The Fountain of Distinguished Riojans displays eight bronze statues arranged in a circle, with water flowing from a central source onto their backs.
Inaugurated in March 1999, sculptors Dalmati and Alejandro Narvaiza Rubio created this monument to honor notable figures from La Rioja region.
The fountain features representations of influential personalities including Quintiliano, Gonzalo de Berceo, and Pedro del Castillo, who shaped La Rioja's development.
Located at the intersection of Gran Via and Calle Chile in central Logroño, the fountain remains accessible throughout the day for visitors.
Local residents named it 'Wet Backs' after water flows continuously down the bronze figures' backs, following a reader's letter in Diario La Rioja.
