In times past, two fountains were the soul of this square: the Pilar de Triana and the Fuente de Lavaderos. The Pilar de Triana, a remnant of the past, served as a watering place for animals and was a gathering spot for locals. The first documented mention of this fountain dates back to a legal dispute in the Royal Chancellery of Granada in 1492. Teamsters and shepherds would pause in their journeys to allow their animals to drink, while women filled their jugs with water. The lively atmosphere created by the women with their basins and buckets filled the square with joy and community.
Today, the Pilar de Triana stands as the only original monument remaining, though it is no longer used for livestock. Its three spouts intermittently release water that flows from the Sierrezuela, known for its potability. It is suspected that beneath the square lies a well that stores water and feeds the fountain, functioning like a siphon.
On the other hand, the Fuente de Lavaderos has vanished. This valuable heritage element was destroyed during renovations decades ago, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of an important piece of local history. In its place now stands a monument dedicated to the Malenos who suffered in Nazi concentration camps, especially in Mauthausen-Gusen and Buchenwald, honoring the memory of the many citizens who were detained there.
The Pilar de Triana and the remnants of the Fuente de Lavaderos are not merely historical testimonies but living memories of life in Posadas. Visiting this site allows guests to immerse themselves in the rich culture and history of the region while enjoying the beauty and charm of the surroundings
