Fountain of the Frogs, Ceramic fountain in Parque de María Luisa, Spain
The Fountain of the Frogs features eight ceramic frogs surrounding the perimeter and a duck standing on a turtle in the center.
Built in 1914 during the transformation of San Telmo gardens into a public park, the fountain was partially destroyed during the Spanish Civil War.
Ceramist Manuel García-Montalván created two similar fountains for Tenerife and Mexico City, spreading this architectural style beyond Seville.
The fountain stands between two long ponds near the Garden of Lions and Duck Island, with water flowing from the frogs' mouths and duck's beak.
Among the eight frogs currently present, only one dates back to 1914, while three were manufactured by Santa Ana ceramics in 1992.
