Fuente de Híspalis, Public fountain in Puerta de Jerez square, Seville, Spain.
The Fuente de Híspalis features a female figure in a tunic sitting on lotus leaves supported by nude child figures mounted on turtles.
The City Council commissioned sculptor Manuel Delgado Brackenbury and designer Juan Bautista Míguez Roca to create the fountain for the 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition.
The fountain sculptures represent the industrial, commercial, and agricultural elements of Seville through detailed symbolic artistry and craftsmanship.
Located at the intersection of several main streets, the fountain stands in a central area accessible from multiple directions and near public transportation.
Four child figures holding conch shells were removed in 1939 by Mayor Eduardo Luca de Tena but recreated and reinstalled in 2015.
