16th century marble fountain in Renaissance style, believed to have been sculpted in Genoa. She is currently in the Plaza de la Constitución, where she was also originally installed, although she went to different locations such as the Alameda or the park until the 2003 remodeling of the square when she was finally installed on one side of it . She has also been given another name, namely Fuente de Carlos V, who used to order the installation in the city.

Renaissance style marble fountain from the 16th century and an anonymous author believed to have been sculpted in Genoa. It is currently located in the Plaza de la Constitución, where it was originally installed, although it went through different locations such as the Alameda or the Park until the square was rebuilt in 2003 and eventually settled on one side. It has also been given a different name than Fuente de Carlos V, who ordered its installation in the city.
The main shell consists of 12 sides with faces with ornaments of the Ionic type separated from each other at their corners. These fabrics are kept on four-petalled roses. In the middle of the well, you can see the stem, which is divided into several bodies.
At its base are three mermaids with forked tails who connect their hands with flower crowns. In the next body three female figures, partly covered with a cloth, accompanied by dolphins.
Above is a second cup from which 8 water pipes fall and on which three figures rest, under which Neptune stands out with a trident accompanied by a dolphin. After one last cup, the auction formed by three children rises and the eagle crowns the fountain that delivers water through its beak.
