En Paseos por Córdoba, Ramírez de Arellano habla de una mina o atarjea del tiempo de los árabes que, recogiendo las aguas del arroyo Gualcolodro, regulaba entre sí los pozos del contorno. Cuando el arroyo estaba crecido, hacía rebosar éstos originando por filtración lagunillas que aparecían “Desde la calle Mayor hacia la Huerta Nueva, más allá del Pretorio”.
Juan de Ávalos designed this fountain, formed by a rectangular pond with a semicircular enlargement on the opposite side of the monument in which the fountains that pour their small jets of water are located at the foot of the quadrangular pillar on which a bust of Manuel stands. Rodríguez Sánchez "Manolete".
The pond, which originally stood on the surrounding land and was surrounded by a flowerbed with plants, is currently embedded in a paved ground with Chinese shapes that in turn is surrounded by flowerbeds with shrubs, and some large palm trees
