Explore the History of this artwork, Reding Fountain.
It was ordered to be built by the mayor of the city, Fernando Carrillo y Manuel, Marquis of Villafiel. The fountain was part of the set of works to improve the road from Vélez-Málaga, which were completed on 8 February 1675.In 1806, with Theodor von Reding as mayor of Malaga, it was restored to its current appearance and its current name, in honour of the mayor. From this restoration came the basin and the fish figurehead that the fountain has today. In 1841, the Muriel Estate, whose land surrounded the Reding Fountain, was acquired by the industrialist Juan Giró to build his residence, the Giró Estate, of which only the retaining wall next to the Reding Fountain remains.It was restored again in 2017 to resolve a series of damages to its architecture, recovering its original structure.
