Lonely Planet review for Fuente de la India

Don’t miss this white Carrara marble fountain, carved by Giuseppe Gaginni in 1837 for the count of Villanueva, situated on a traffic island in front of the Hotel Saratoga. It portrays a regal indigenous woman adorned with a crown of eagle’s feathers and seated on a throne surrounded by four gargoylesque dolphins. In one hand she holds a horn-shaped basket filled with fruit, in the other she holds a shield bearing the city’s coat of arms - a golden key between two mountains, a sun above the sea, three stripes emblazoned on a white background, and a royal palm.
