Fountain of the Fallen Angel

Highlight • Monument

It is often said that Madrid is the only city in the world with a monument to the Devil. It is, in fact, a fountain representing the Fallen Angel at the moment of his expulsion from Paradise.
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.

Galápagos Fountain

Highlight • Monument

The fountain is composed of an upper spout in the shape of a conch, located on a cup that in turn rests on a column in the shape of a palm tree covered in leaves. At their feet, four children riding on dolphins from whose mouths emerges water, which then falls into the lower glass. Four other fountains represent two frogs and two tortoiseshells, which have given it its popular name. The fountain is surrounded by a small flower bed with seasonal flowers and a boxwood hedge.
