Bica da Rainha, Historical fountain in Cosme Velho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The stone fountain stands near Cosme Velho Station, featuring a natural spring water source surrounded by Brazilian flora and garden elements.
Built in the 19th century, the fountain gained its name after Queen Maria I of Portugal visited the location to benefit from its waters.
The fountain became a gathering place where locals shared stories about the water's healing properties, particularly for treating conditions like anemia.
Located near the Corcovado Train station, the site received restoration work in 2014 to preserve its original landscape architecture and native plants.
The water source attracted royal visitors including Carlota Joaquina of Spain, who recommended the location to her mother-in-law, Queen Maria I.
