The large fountain in the middle is called the 'Font de les Tres Gràcies' (Fountain of the Three Graces). It was created in 1878 by Antoni Rovira i Trias. Statues of the Three Graces - goddesses of charm, beauty and fertility - support a small basin. The two lampposts with six brackets near the fountain are early works of Antoni Gaudí. The famous Catalan architect designed them in 1879, shortly after graduating as an architect, but his unique style is already visible. The lampposts are decorated with iron snakes and a winged hat, symbols of Mercury, the god of commerce.
