The fountain of Santo Domingo originally had a practical water supply function, as did other spouts and springs in Baza that were fundamental to urban life before the arrival of modern supply networks. It became a meeting point in one of the busiest squares in the historic centre, surrounded by monumental buildings and spaces dedicated to the market and various public activities. Although it is not a medieval or monumental fountain like other better known fountains, such as the Caños Dorados, it forms an essential part of Baza's 19th century hydraulic heritage, recovered and enhanced by associations and local authorities. The history of the fountain is closely linked to the transformation of the Plaza de Santo Domingo, traditionally a place for meetings, commerce and social life in the heart of the historic centre. In this enclave, which seems to preserve the memory of the neighbourhood intact, the fountain stands as a silent witness to daily life since the end of the 19th century. Installed in 1883, the fountain probably came from the old Convent of Santo Domingo, whose cloister housed various ornamental elements reused after the disentailment. After it was moved, the fountain became a regular meeting place, where generations of Bastetans would come to collect water, chat or rest in the shade of the convent.
