Don Quixote Fountain

Don Quixote Fountain (Fuente de Don Quijote) stands in Quixote Square, just off Gran Avenida, w. of Lake Chapultepec and s. of the Botanic Garden. The fountain is within a pavilion designed in the shape of a simple cube. A mural by Diego Rivera covering its bottom depicts the evolution of life by water. The hydraulic works in the vicinity receive water from the Río Lerma. Also on the square is a metallic structure housing two small sculptures of Quixote and sidekick Sancho Panza in the midst of an argument.
