点评:At the southwestern end of the town, and easily reached by following the splendid Calle Río, which is a street with many fine Baroque doorways, lies the fabulous, stunning Fuente del Rey, a spectacular 180-jet fountain (with many later additions) which pours water into a number of basins. It was completed in 1803, but building of it started supposedly in the 16th Century. The highest of these has a sculpture of a lion struggling with a serpent, whilst the second contains a larger late eighteenth-century depiction of Neptune and Amphitrite, the king and queen of the sea. Amphitrite is clutching the dolphin that returned her to Neptune after her attempted escape, incidentally, emphasizing the power of the king, the work’s intended ideological message, given that over the border in France, monarchs were losing their heads.
One guidebook has called it one of the most tranquil squares in Andalucía, and it is hard not to see this tree shaded area being a wonderful place to relax and get away from it all on a hot summer’s day, cooled by the flowing water. The noise of the water is also therapeutic. This must be why there are so many marble benches to sit on all round the fountain.
翻译:在小镇的西南端,沿着壮丽的 Calle Río 街很容易到达,这条街有许多精美的巴洛克风格门廊,坐落着令人叹为观止的 Fuente del Rey,这是一座壮观的 180 喷口喷泉(后来又进行了许多扩建),将水喷入多个水池中。它于 1803 年完工,但据说建造于 16 世纪。其中最高的一座是狮子与蛇搏斗的雕塑,而第二座是十八世纪晚期的海王和海后安菲特里特的更大雕像。安菲特里特抓着海豚,海豚在她试图逃跑后将她送回了海王身边,顺便强调了国王的力量,这是该作品想要传达的意识形态信息,因为在法国边境,君主们正在失去理智。
一本旅游指南称它是安达卢西亚最宁静的广场之一,在炎热的夏日,流水带来的清凉让人不禁想到这片绿树成荫的地区是放松身心、远离尘嚣的绝佳去处。水声也有治疗作用。这肯定就是为什么喷泉周围有这么多大理石长椅可以坐的原因。
