Neoclassical fountain from the 18th century. There’s an inscription on the fountain’s turret that tells us when it was made: ‘During the Reign of Charles IV, 1798’. The basin is made of 19 pieces of stone from Colmenar de Oreja and its tower is topped with a pinnacle in the shape of a pine cone. Prior to its construction, there were other fountains at this site. Water was collected from them for the lord of the town’s home, located in the same square. The history of the world-renowned waters of Carabaña began at the end of the 19th century when chemist Jacinto Chávarri tested the waters during a hunting trip. After some tests, he discovered their excellent medicinal properties. This led him to explore the spring and to firstly build a factory, which he called Aguas Minerales Naturales de Carabaña La Favorita.
