Fuente de los Cántaros, Art Deco fountain in Parque México, Mexico City.

The fountain features a concrete statue of a woman holding two water pitchers, standing three meters tall at the entrance of Teatro Lindbergh.

José María Hernández Urbina created this fountain in 1927 during the development of the Colonia Condesa neighborhood and its architectural transformation.

The statue represents pre-Hispanic Mexican identity through the figure of Luz Jiménez, who modeled for the sculpture and became a symbol of indigenous heritage.

Visitors can find the fountain at the intersection of Calle Michoacán within Parque México, making it an accessible meeting point in Condesa.

The fountain underwent a substantial restoration in 2008, requiring 21 million pesos and 17 months of work to preserve its architectural elements.
