Plaça Font del Lleó is the central point of the small town of Caldes de Montbui. It is a restricted traffic area, and it is difficult to find parking in the entire historic center. The square has several points of interest for the visitor around it. First, the lion fountain, which gives its name to the square. It is a source of hot water, which comes out at 74 degrees, and to which they lend all kinds of virtues, they say it cures arthritis and repairs fractures. The fountain comes out of a lion's mouth. On the other side of the square are the Roman baths, vestiges of the city's first spa.
And the Santa Susana hospital, which is now the Thermalia complex, a museum about hot springs. The square has a couple of spas and also restaurants where you can enjoy its beauty quietly sitting on a terrace.
