ヘタフェの天然記念物・トップ20

アルカチョファの泉（アーティチョークの噴水）は、18世紀にベンチレーター建築家ベンチュラ・ロドリゲスによって設計された、マドリードにある新古典主義のウォーターフィーチャーです。この噴水は、トリートーンとニンフのレリーフ、そして作品に特徴的な名前を与える頂上の石のアーティチョークが特徴です。歴史的なオリジナルは現在、有名なレティーロ公園のパラテール庭園のバラ園の近くにありますが、ブロンズ製のレプリカがプエルタ・デ・アトーチャ広場のロータリーを飾っています。

ラ・フォンターナ・デル・アンジェロ・カドゥート（フエンテ・デル・アンヘル・カイド）は、マドリードで最も魅惑的で珍しいモニュメントの1つであり、世界でも数少ないルシファーに捧げられた公共彫刻として有名です。この作品は、有名なレティーロ公園内にあります。 作者：ブロンズ像は1877年にマドリードの彫刻家リカルド・ベルベルによって制作されました。 文学的出典：この作品は、ジョン・ミルトンの『失楽園』第1巻の詩から直接インスピレーションを得ており、天使が天国から追放されるまさにその瞬間を捉えています。

The sculpture, located in El Retiro Park, is the work of Ricardo Bellver, who sculpted it in 1878 for the Universal Exhibition in Paris that same year. It was later acquired by the Madrid City Council, which commissioned the architect Francisco Jareño to design a pedestal. This was made of granite, bronze and stone, adopting the structure of a fountain with a wide basin. The complex was officially inaugurated in 1885.

Beautiful vertical garden.

One - but definitely not the only - biblical basis for the fall of the fallen angel (dragon, devil, Satan, Lucifer ...) into hell can be found in the 12th chapter of the Book of Revelation, the so-called "Apocalypse": "Then there was war in heaven; Michael and his angels rose up to fight with the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought, but they did not stand firm, and they lost their place in heaven. The great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the devil or Satan, who deceives the whole world. The dragon was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him." (Rev 12:7-9, New Rev 12:7-9)

The Alcachofa Fountain is a monumental fountain in Madrid (Spain) built in the last third of the 18th century and installed in front of the old Puerta de Atocha, from where it was moved in 1880 to the Buen Retiro Gardens.
