Santa Maria Fountain

It was built in the 16th century after the arrival of a foreign-born king, Carlos I of Spain or Karl V of Germany (whose coat of arms is emblazoned above the fountain). The king was a champion of the new philosophy that was sweeping through Europe - the Renaissance.

Los Caños Fountain

The Fountain of Health or Los Caños Fountain, as it is commonly known, is virtually in the town centre, in La Plazoleta. This brick and tile fountain, built by the master-builder Jacobo Espínola Gómez, was unveiled on 8 September 1894 by the Mayor Rafael Galindo Abril. It is fed by a natural spring that rises at the Parral, about 600-800 metres away.

Fuente del Molino Cegato (Blind Mill Spring)

At the base of some rocks beside the El Salado stream, there is a spring of sulphurous water that has traditionally been used to cure eye diseases (hence its name) and skin rashes. To visit it, you leave Pruna via Calle Culata and, after El Molinillo, you continue along the gypsum quarry path for approximately 3 km.

Duke’s Fountain

It is fed from a spring in the Sierra del Tablón with cool water in summer and warm water in winter with a very pleasant taste, and, after serving as a watering place for animals, it is used to irrigate a vegetable garden. Its name comes from the Duke of Osuna, the owner of these lands centuries ago.

This is an old cattle watering place where the women of Pruna used to go to do the washing. There are also some wells, now dry, which were used to supply the town and water some vegetable gardens.

La Fontana Fountain

The La Fontana Fountain in Badolatosa, as its name suggests, is located in the La Fontana stream. 

According to oral tradition, in the stream there were some big boulders from which the water flowed into a natural basin that was constantly overflowing.
