The Fountain of Europe was built as a testimony to the union of the European peoples. Its particularity lies in the fact that it is made of stones sent from each of the countries that made up the European Union in the year of its foundation in 2002.

The base of the fountain is made of stones from each of the Andalusian provinces.
