Barcelona, March 2017

“The Font del Carme was the only one created during one of Spain's most unstable periods — a period leading to critical political events such as the Spanish Civil War and dictatorship. This fountain is attached to the Milà i Fontanals School and is similar to other neo-gothic fountains. Three mascarons are placed in the middle, which originally had water pouring out of their mouths. Other decorations can be found on the top and sides of this stone fountain.” (The Historic Fountains of Barcelona)
