Arrabal Fountain

Highlight • Structure

The original location was in the center of the square today called Plaza de Béjar. Later it was moved to its current location and when paving the aforementioned square, it lost the conduction of the spring, which is the same as that of the source of the schools.

Church of Nuestra Señora de la Asunción

Highlight • Religious Site

It is, without a doubt, the most outstanding building in the town of Candelario. Of great proportions, it mixes different architectural styles (Mudejar, Baroque, Romanesque and Gothic). Its interior is made up of three naves, separated by large semicircular arches.

Ant Spring

Highlight • Structure

Located in the neighborhood of the dogs, it is the favorite fountain of the local poet Victoriano Gil Mateos, hence there is a plaque remembering him. The spring that supplies it also does the same with the Fuente de la Cruz de Piedra and the Fuente de Perales.

Fuente de la Romana

Highlight • Structure

In 1896 the construction of the Town Hall was completed, so it is likely that it was built on that date, however there is an inscription on the stone at the entrance to the spring with the inscription "It was rebuilt in 1813"

The original fountain did not have the stone base that it currently has, but a metal base, which with humidity and the passage of time deteriorated and was replaced by the current one. Also known as the Fountain of the Pigeons.
