Английская Википедия:Fountain of the Pear Tree Canals
The Fountain of the Pear Tree Canals (Шаблон:Lang-es) is an ancient fountain discovered buried under the Plaza de Isabel II in Madrid, Spain, in 2009.[1] The name comes from a 13th-century pear tree that shaded the source spring at the fountain's location. The fountain is also known as the Шаблон:Lang-es (Laundry of the Pear Tree Canals).[1]
Background
The fountain was documented variously in the 15th century as Hontanillas or Fontanillas and is thought to have been one of the first Turkish baths in Madrid.[2][3] Water from the canals supplied the population of Madrid through a distribution system made up of water carriers.[4] The water was also used by the “lavadores,” or clothes washers. The discovered part was built in the 17th century and was originally Шаблон:Cvt in length, occupying a small valley at the end of Arenal Street.[1] It featured granite ashlars in a padded style.[2]
The fountains shared the water from the spring with the royal palace until the mid 18th century.[2] The spring water was transported to the palace via an aqueduct named the Amaniel.[1][2] It continued to be used as a fountain until it was buried in 1809.[2] It was buried Шаблон:Cvt deep, along with the spring's source, and was paved over to prepare for the building of the Teatro Real, the Plaza de Oriente, and the Plaza de Isabel II.[2]
Work began on reconditioning the Ópera Metro station that served the Teatro Real and the two plazas in 2009, which led to the rediscovery of the fountain.[1][2] Once the restorative work was completed in 2011 the upgraded station, now including an archeological museum, was opened to the public.[2] The museum showcases the fountain of the canals along with other relics found at the site, such as the original parts of the Arenal Sewer, and the royal Amaniel Aqueduct.[1] The museum, accessed from the lobby of the Ópera station, is Шаблон:Cvt in size and free to anyone with a metro ticket.[1] Madrid has a reputation for being built on water.[2]
A replica of a small part of the fountains was erected in the Plaza Isabel to honour the discovery.[2]
