Font de Sant Agustí Vell

Spain

The Font del Gat or Font de Sant Agustí Vell is a Gothic fountain (reconstructed) located in the Barri de Ribera of Barcelona. It is on the ground floor of the house with its main facade towards the Plaça de Sant Agustí Vell and placed on the corner of Carders and Tantarantana streets (below which the Rec Comtal is used to feed the fountain). It is a very significant fountain in Barcelona, since the main use was as a watering trough for the horses of the carriages that entered to Barcelona via the Portal Nou.
