Mariblanca

Also known as the new fountain or the Ball Game, because it is located near the old pediment. Beautiful example of baroque architecture representative of the small rural public works that were carried out by the monarchs in the period of the Enlightenment. It was built in stone and framed in a beautiful square in 1794, during the reign of Carlos IV, taking advantage of different springs in the area and the medieval trough.

It fulfilled important functions of supplying water to the population as well as for livestock and pack animals. As a whole, the stone basin of La Fontanilla or Fuente de los Tres Caños remains, which is supposed to be the oldest in the municipality, for exclusively human water supply.

The ensemble is made up of a curved pylon of carved stone with two square-section pillars and a truncated pyramid top, with two pipes in each one. In the center is the Abanico or Mariblanca fountain adorned with a classic molded pedestal to receive the Mariblanca sculpture. It is believed that in 1794 a bust of Carlos III could have been removed.

In its surroundings there is a modern sculpture dedicated to the mother

This beautiful fountain is within the town of Perales de Tajuña, and next to the Lagar de Nemesio accommodation, absolutely recommended to rest or to taste its rich and varied gastronomy.
