Fuente de las Granadas (Granada Fountain), Granada

The Granada Fountain (Fuente de las Granadas) is located in the beautiful city of Granada and was built as a testament to the area's rich culture and nature. It was designed by local artist Ramiro Megías and opened in 2007, thanks to a donation from Emasagra.

The fountain's design cleverly reflects Granada's landscape, especially its rivers, the Genil and Darro. It also features detailed models of native plants like the pomegranate, a symbol of fertility, wealth, and togetherness, which is pivotal not just for its symbolism but also because 'Granada' is the Spanish word for pomegranate.

This large bronze structure, standing 11 meters tall and stretching 15 meters across, was made at the Moliné Segovia Foundry. Its design includes other meaningful elements such as depictions of the Sierra Nevada, La Vega, and a statue of a woman in partial dress holding a pomegranate and looking towards the Fountain of Battles, adding depth to the historical narrative of Granada's diverse heritage.

Positioned in Bibataubin Square (Plaza de Bibataubin), the fountain is a spectacular sight, especially during late fall when the nearby trees turn a brilliant gold. Besides its visual and historical importance, the Granada Fountain is at the heart of a lively district surrounded by peaceful parks, charming cafes, and other scenic water features.

More than just a stunning piece of architecture, the Granada Fountain symbolizes Granada's historical depth and cultural blend. It offers visitors a delightful experience as they walk through the nearby paths, with plenty of perfect spots for taking photos that capture Granada's timeless charm and legacy.
