A beautiful town square featuring a unique mosaic pathway and charming fountains.

Fuente de Piedra is a charming village whose name derives from an ancient spring believed to possess healing powers. The area was already settled in Roman times, and the spring was then referred to as "Fons Divinus." In the Middle Ages, a small settlement grew up around the spring, which later acquired its present name. During the 18th and 19th centuries, Fuente de Piedra was a renowned spa town thanks to its mineral waters, until the spring dried up. Today, the village's name evokes this past, while its history remains closely intertwined with the use and veneration of the water.

The historic fountain is located in the center of Fuente de Piedra. Its origins date back to a natural spring known since ancient times. This spring was venerated by the Romans as Fons Divinus – "Divine Spring" – because its water was believed to have healing powers, particularly against gallstones. The name of the place, "Fuente de Piedra" ("Stone Spring"), derives directly from this spring. Over the centuries, it has remained a central landmark in the community. In the 1990s, the spring was uncovered and restored in the area of today's Plaza de la Constitución, so that today it serves as a historic landmark commemorating the town's Roman origins and long tradition.
