Tips

Construction of remarkable dimensions formed by a set of three exposed stone walls that form the enclosure of the fountain. You go down six steps, also made of stone.

The front wall has two mosaic squares at the top that identify the source and at the bottom are the two raging jets, one of which has a key.

The mosaic on the left is the original that was destroyed due to its religious connotation during the civil war. And the one on the right, is a copy made and given by Penya Regalèssia, a few years ago. A metal door that gives access to the interior of the cistern and the mine. On the left, the outlet with little flow, and above it, some forms worked in cement on which stands out a date, 1612, which must undoubtedly indicate the origin of the source.

For many years, this source was exploited as a spring by the owners of the farmhouse, who bottled its water and sold it in bottles, which they themselves were responsible for transporting to the capital. Hence, the name that prays in the mosaic "Manantial Jané". Although little production, this served to complement the distribution of milk, which was the main source of income.
