Description  After he had won the competition for a commemorative fountain, Jujol began elaborating this design whilst the 'palacio' for the world exhibition was still being built. The triangular fountain, decorated with statues, was supposed to be finished before the exhibition opened. He only had four months to complete it, partly because he had been ill. But Jujol was greatly averse to working in a hurry and the project was not finished on time. During the civil war, many of the ornaments were removed, and the fountain is now a poor rendering of what it should have been.
