Erected during the Second Republic in the vicinity of the Casa de Campo lake and on the banks of the Meaques stream, near the Casa de los Patines (disappeared in the 1960s), next to the Lago metro and on the access road to the Puerta del Ángel, this fountain, linked to one of the vertebral paths or paths on the eastern edge of the park, has managed to maintain the essential features of its origins and is one of the best preserved among those corresponding to the first half of the 20th century. Small mural construction formed by a body with a raised trapezoidal polygonal profile and finished off in its central part with a granite base crowned by an ornamental limestone motif, and extended between two ends or lateral pilasters culminating in turn in a granite base with an upper limestone ornament; It also shows two pipes in each of its two fronts and two rectangular pools flush with the ground and provided with metal grids, lacking a specific enclosure.
