Fuente del Bombillo, Public fountain in Garcia Cabrelles Street, Melilla, Spain

The Fuente del Bombillo is a Neo-Arabic monumental fountain on Calle García Cabrelles in Melilla's Ensanche Modernista. Two white crenellated towers with horseshoe-arched doorways flank and rise above two horseshoe-arched niches holding basins, and a front wall repeats the same arches. The Melilla coat of arms sits on the pillar between the niches, and the walls apart from the towers are clad in tilework with Arab-style interlacing.

The Fuente del Bombillo was built to a design by engineer Tomás Moreno Lázaro, executed by contractor Francisco Tortosa and inaugurated on 6 September 1916 by General Federico Monteverde. It was restored in 2005 and again in 2021.

The fountain's walls, except those of the towers, are faced with tiles bearing the interlaced geometric tracery (lacería) typical of Arab art. The Melilla coat of arms is set on the pillar between the two niches. The Neo-Arabic design was drawn up by the engineer Tomás Moreno Lázaro.

The fountain is located on a busy street in central Melilla, making it easy to reach on foot. It serves as a helpful landmark when exploring the surrounding area.

The fountain was inaugurated on 6 September 1916 by General Federico Monteverde, and it was restored in 2005 and again in 2021. Look for the coat of arms of Melilla on the pillar between the two basins.
