Fuente del Algarrobo

Heritage

An immense legacy waiting to be discovered

197

This fountain is located at Calle de la Fuente, in the old town of Gelves. It is built on a brick retaining wall. It consists of three staggered basins with a marble slap and a pipe protruding from the wall. The water flows through the two basins until it reaches the bottom. The water was diverted to a pool, now covered, that the owners used for recreational and watering purposes. It was said that the water was of high quality and had curative powers. (P.A. Cantero, 1995)
