Carriedo Fountain, Colonial fountain in Santa Cruz, Manila, Philippines
The decorative stone fountain features multiple tiers with water cascading down through intricate designs and sculptures representing late 19th-century architectural elements.
Francisco Carriedo y Peredo, an 18th-century Spanish aristocrat, donated ten thousand pesos for the construction of Manila's first water system completed in 1882.
The fountain stands as a symbol of Filipino-Spanish cooperation in developing public infrastructure, marking the evolution of Manila's urban development during colonial times.
Located near hotels and restaurants in Santa Cruz district, the fountain serves as a central meeting point and reference landmark for visitors exploring Manila.
The current structure is a meticulous replica created by National Artist Napoleon Abueva, who spent one year ensuring exact reproduction of the original design.
