Nestled in the heart of Ciutat Vella, the **Font Pla de la Boqueria** is not just a fountain; it’s a vibrant piece of Barcelona’s history. Built in 1830, this neoclassical marvel stands as a testament to the city’s rich cultural heritage. Surrounded by the bustling atmosphere of the famed La Rambla, it serves as a perfect resting spot for weary travelers and a picturesque backdrop for memorable photographs. The fountain, adorned with intricate carvings and historical symbols, invites visitors to pause and reflect on the stories it holds.

The **Font Pla de la Boqueria** is conveniently located at Pla de la Boqueria, 3, making it an ideal stop during your exploration of Barcelona. Just a stone’s throw away from the iconic Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, this fountain is surrounded by a lively market atmosphere where you can indulge in fresh produce, tapas, and local delicacies. Nearby attractions include the Gothic Quarter, where narrow streets and stunning architecture tell tales of the past, and the vibrant La Rambla, perfect for leisurely strolls.

The fountain's unique design features three stone slabs, each depicting a face adorned with laurel wreaths, symbolizing victory and honor.

Interestingly, the Font Pla de la Boqueria was built to replace an earlier fountain that had stood in the same spot. This location has been a gathering place since medieval times, where farmers and street vendors would sell their goods just outside the city walls, evading taxes. Today, it continues to be a lively hub, albeit with a different character, as it attracts tourists and locals alike.

Zhruba v polovině bulváru La Rambla je malé náměstí Placa Boqueria se stejnojmennou neoklasicistní fontánou z roku 1830. Byla vyrobena z mramoru a tvoří ji oblouk s erbem Barcelony pod nímž leží kyj a kůže lva – symboly Herkula, který byl podle legendy zakladatelem města. Pod erbem jsou vyobrazeny tři reliéfy lidských tváří se lví hřívou kolem hlavy. Mezi nimi dva kohoutky na vodu, poslední roky bohužel bez vody.
Dříve v těchto místech stávala středověká brána, kterou se vstupovalo opevněním do města. Před branou se scházeli pouliční prodavači a farmáři z okolních vesnic, aby zde za hradbami prodávali svoje zboží a ušetřili tak na daních.
Dnes tu bydlí bezdomovci….

About halfway down La Rambla is a small square, Placa Boqueria, with a neoclassical fountain of the same name from 1830. It was made of marble and consists of an arch with the coat of arms of Barcelona under which lies a club and the skin of a lion – symbols of Hercules, who, according to legend, was the founder of the city. Below the coat of arms are depicted three reliefs of human faces with a lion's mane around the head. Among them two water taps, unfortunately without water in recent years.
Previously, a medieval gate used to enter the city through the fortifications stood in these places. In front of the gate, street vendors and farmers from the surrounding villages gathered to sell their goods here behind the walls and thus save on taxes.
Homeless people live here today….

Es una font neoclàssica construïda l'any 1830 declarada bé cultural d'interès local. Al tram central de la font hi han tres planxes de pedra, en cadascuna de les quals hi ha representada una cara amb una corona de llorer i la caballera de lleó. A sobre de les cares i al centre hi ha un gran escut, que representa l'escut de la ciutat enquerit amb els atributs d'Hèrcules -la clava i la pell de lleó al peus- com a llegendari fundador de la ciutat. Una altre font de Barcelona amb molta història i que mereix una visita.

It is a neoclassical fountain built in 1830 and declared a cultural asset of local interest. In the central section of the fountain there are three stone slabs, each of which depicts a face with a laurel wreath and the lion cavalry. Above the faces and in the center is a large shield, which represents the coat of arms of the city encrusted with the attributes of Hercules - the club and the lion's skin at the foot - as the legendary founder of the city. Another fountain in Barcelona with a lot of history and worth a visit.

Font Pla de la Boqueria

Font del Pla de la Boqueria 是巴塞罗那市的一座新古典主义喷泉，作为当地文化资产受到保护。 这座建于 1830 年的喷泉，取代了几年前拆除的早期喷泉。
这个喷泉位于一个名为 Pla de la Boqueria 的开放空间，中世纪城墙的巴塞罗那市的入口大门之一就位于那里。 这个地方被设置为街头小贩和附近村庄和农舍的农民的聚会场所，他们在城墙外定居以出售他们的产品，以节省货物入境税。
我们今天看到的喷泉建于 1830 年，取代了早在 1818 年与这里的城墙塔一起被拆除的喷泉1884 年，当国际大酒店建成时，喷泉进行了相当大的改造，在喷泉顶部的露台上方开发了建筑物的一部分。
