Description
The famous Baths of Diana fountain of La Granja and its water display is a very popular show enjoyed by locals and tourists alike. One of several monumental fountains of La Granja, Segovia, Spain created in 1720 by order of Philip V, the first Spanish monarch from the Bourbon dynasty. Having known the great French gardens where he spent his childhood and early youth, the king probably wished to emulate them in this outstanding setting near Segovia. The palace in La Granja is surrounded by exceptional French-style gardens, richly adorned with statues, urns and benches; it is particularly famous for its water features, including cascades and fountains with magnificent waterspouts and statuary, and spectacular displays. The most outstanding fountains include the Fama, with an extremely high jet of water, the Baroque fountains at the Baths of Diana, the Latona, the Fan, with its particularly fine spouts, the magnificent Horse Race fountain or the imposing cascade opposite the palace façade. The fountains operate at certain hours on Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays in the months of May and June.
