It was designed in the Baroque style by Remigio del Mármol, and is thought to have been completed in 1803.

It consists of three pools standing on different levels, and its shape is elongated, with a predominance of curved lines.

In the first pool stands a sculpture of a lion fighting with a serpent, attributed to the neoclassical sculptor Álvarez Cubero.

The second level contains the central figure of the monument, a sculpture of Neptune and Amphitrite riding a chariot pulled by horses emerging from the water. There is a waterfall between this and the final pool, from which the water runs out through the mask of the Clergy.

There are 199 spouts in the fountain, many of them with stone masks bearing the faces of fantastic creatures. It has been declared a National Monument.
