Fuente de San Miguel, Puebla

Fuente de San Miguel is a harmonious and beautiful landmark of Puebla. It was built by Don Juan Antonio de Santa Maria de Ichaúegui and by the masters of stone carving Anselmo Martínez and José Francisco Rabanillo. Dedicated to one of the patrons of the city, the Archangel Miguel, the spring was blessed on June 23, 1777. It is a wonderful fountain which comprises a bowl adorned at the base with life-sized angels; at the top of the centered column the statue of San Miguel is gracefully displayed.
