A beautiful work of art, located in Plaza de la Vigen
Fuente del Tribunal De Aguas/del Turia的点评
点评:You will certainly like the fountain, with its central figure and 8 female statues, but if you want to know what it represents – do some research. In the center and on a pedestal stands a reclining male figure representing the Turia, holding in his hands the Vessel of Abundance, from which the fruits of the Valencian garden come, and the 8 statues represent the eight irrigation ditches. The fountain is not dedicated to the Turia River, as we might think, but to the old Water Tribunal, which meets, in oral and public judgment, every Thursday at the Puerta de los Apóstoles of the Valencia Cathedral. Unfortunately, we did not see this "judgment", maybe you are lucky enough to visit Valencia on a Thursday.
翻译:您一定会喜欢这座喷泉,它以中心人物和八尊女性雕像为特色,但如果您想了解它所代表的意义,不妨做些功课。喷泉中央的基座上矗立着一位斜倚的男性雕像,象征着图里亚人,他手中捧着丰饶之器,瓦伦西亚花园的果实就源于此;而八尊雕像则代表着八条灌溉沟渠。喷泉并非像我们想象的那样,是献给图里亚河的,而是献给古老的水法庭。该法庭每周四在瓦伦西亚大教堂的使徒门(Puerta de los Apostoles)举行口头和公开的审判。很遗憾,我们没有亲眼目睹这场“审判”,或许您有幸在周四造访瓦伦西亚。
