ALCUBILLA STREET TEJAS
In this place is the ladle of the Fuente de La Teja, also known as the Fuente de D. Domingo, or Fuente Muguerza. It is a system of communicating vessels, which are gaining height and distributing to the different houses and fountains of the municipality.
This hydraulic infrastructure is one of the most important singularities of Coín. Composed of springs (water birth points), atanores (ceramic pipes), alcubillas systems (water straw distribution tanks, 4 l/min), water thieves (regulates the distribution according to the water flow in each season ), hydraulic networks (they interconnect the basins at different heights) and of course by the sources.
Very important is the “public” basin, located in the upper part of the Albaicín, ordered to be built by Bishop Eulate de Santa Cruz in 1754, from where the four fountains that were erected on these dates derive, one in the Plaza Alta ( Alameda), another in the Episcopal Palace (now disappeared), another in the Plaza Baja (Plaza Bermúdez de la Rubia) and the fourth in the Convento de la Encarnación.
