Granada has always had important water resources. Sierra Nevada has been and will be a blessing for this city. Most of you reading these lines will have walked through the Alhambra and in the Alhambra one of the elements that contribute to its worldwide fame is water. Granada is a city of water. We can appreciate this reality in our walks through the city. Everywhere we can find a fountain or a pillar where we can take a drink or refresh ourselves or simply listen to the murmur of the water. In Granada we have three rivers: Genil, Darro and Beiro. Granada is not only known for its water, but also for its quality.
This fountain, located in the Triunfo Gardens, is the largest fountain that exists in Granada and is located in a space that remains in the retina of those who visit the city, especially at night, when the fountain and the Royal Hospital are illuminated.
The fountain is located in the Plaza de Isabel la Católica, at the junction of Gran Vía and Reyes Católicos. We can consider the Plaza as the culmination of the renovation of this urban space that had begun in the late nineteenth century, with the opening of the Gran Vía de Colón.

Of the emblematic fountain Granadina, we do not have certain data of its origin, Molina Fajardo notes that it is a Mosaic Fountain that belonged to the convent of Bethlehem of the barefoot Mercedarian friars. Possibly it is the same one that Gómez Moreno calls «Fuente de la Reina».
The name «Las Batallas» of this esplanade, comes from centuries ago. This space along with the Campillo, were areas outside the walls of Granada in the Middle Ages, and the place where the army of the city met to review.    The military units were called «batallas» and hence its name.
Around 1900 the Fuente de las Batallas was located at the end of the Carrera del Genil, at the entrance of the Paseo del Salón, just in front of the kiosk of the Titas, near the place where the tramway turned around. In 1942, at the end of the works of the Darro River embankment, it was taken to its current location, placing a strip of garden around it.

The Church’s strategy with this type of initiatives was not innocent. Contrary to the old collective identities of the left that they had defeated during the war, whose values were based on solidarity and equality, they tried to approach the popular classes by imposing their hierarchical vision of society and their charitable model. The alms that cleansed the conscience of the rich and attenuated the misery of the poor, but safeguarded the status quo.
To Antonio Aróstegui, a Falangist journalist, a criticism of the hypocrisy of the Tómbola de Caridad in one of his articles was enough in 1952 to lose his section in the newspaper. These were his words:
«We never saw such eagerness to exemplify ourselves in the charity raffle. The donations flowed in torrents and the young women in charge of the sale could hardly supply the colossal demand, because the buyers piled up in a tight bundle, holding the precious donations in their hands, impatient for the longed-for envelope that took so long to arrive.
