Located at the centre of Madrid's Plaza de Cibeles, the Fountain of Cybele is a neoclassical monument designed by Ventura Rodríguez and completed in 1782. At its heart stands a sculptural group depicting Cybele, the Phrygian goddess of earth and fertility, rendered in the elegant idiom of the age. The fountain has evolved into one of Madrid's most recognizable symbols, its classical proportions and mythological subject matter embodying the city's aspirations during the late eighteenth century.
