Fuente de las Tres Gracias

Fuente de las Tres Gracias is a three-tiered cast iron fountain in a central location. The female figures wear classical marble tunics and hold farming tools plus a cornucopia.

The fountain was designed by Antoine Durenne and Jean-Baptiste-Jules Klagmann and originally placed at Alameda Principal. It was moved to its current location in 1880.

The fountain shows the three Graces from classical mythology through female figures positioned at the water's center. These statues connect ancient tradition with the local identity of the city.

The fountain sits at a junction where seven major pathways meet, including Paseo del Parque and Paseo de la Farola. Its central location makes it easy to reach on foot and a natural landmark when exploring downtown.

Another fountain in the city called Fuente de las Tres Gitanillas was inspired by this design but shows female figures wearing traditional Andalusian clothing instead. This contrast reveals how the original monument was later reinterpreted with local touches.
