- JackOld Bethpage, NY3,377 contributionsThe Cibeles Fountain is arguably the most beautiful fountain in Madrid. The fountain shows the Roman goddess Cibeles riding a chariot pulled by lions. It is right in the center of the Plaza de Cibeles in front of the Palladio de Cibeles, one of the most beautiful buildings in the city. I recommend checking this fountain out.Written June 27, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- nick9874Florida190 contributionsWorth a walk by. Our tour director mentioned this statue and since we were nearby and intrigued decided to see it. It is a nice walk through the park where you will see lots of locals enjoying the outside. I would not go out of my way to see this but it is definitely unique based on representation to take a peek at.Written March 25, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The fountain consists of marble stones where water comes out between them, as if they were levitating, to imitate the clouds and the sky. Or at least that was the intention of the artists.
There are so many more stunning fountains in Madrid than this one.Written January 2, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
