The Wallace fountains, made in 1872 by Charles-Auguste Lebourg, commissioned by the English philanthropist Sir Richard Wallace, and erected in many European cities as an act of brotherhood; two of the original twelve remain in Barcelona: the Rambla Santa Monica and the Gran Via with Passeig de Gràcia. All of them have four figures of caryatids supporting a hemispherical dome, with a water jet.Fabre; Huertas; Bohigas, 1984, pp. 26–37.
