Fountain of Fame, Madrid, Baroque fountain in Justicia quarter, Madrid, Spain.
The Fountain of Fame features a four-leaf clover pylon with four dolphins releasing water streams and angels holding seashells at its base.
Pedro de Ribera designed this fountain during Philip V's reign, with construction completed in 1732 near Plaza de Antón Martín before relocating to its current position.
The fountain displays the figure of Pheme at its summit, playing a trumpet as a representation of recognition and public acknowledgment in Spanish society.
The fountain stands near the Museum of Municipal History, accessible through public transportation and surrounded by protective barriers since 1999.
Following damage during the Spanish Civil War, the fountain underwent reconstruction in 1911 by Ángel García, who preserved its original baroque elements.
