Archaeological site Fuente de Foncalada in Oviedo

You're standing at La Foncalada, an old drinking-water fountain in Oviedo. It may look modest, but it's truly special. King Alfonso III of Asturias had it built in the ninth century. It's the only public, non-religious structure from the Early Middle Ages that has survived. All the other squares, bridges and fountains from that era are gone. This one isn't.
