    Located in the center of the Plaza de Platerías, it was sculpted by J. Pernas in 1825. It is an Italian-style fountain, which inspired Federico García Lorca, who called it "The Fountain of the Dream". Fountain of stylized line, it has four with beautifully made horses. The sculptor Juan Sanmartín, in the middle of the s. XIX, he added the "Allegory of the City of Santiago", a woman sitting on the apostolic ark, holding the star that indicated to Bishop Teodomiro the place of the tomb.
