At the beginning of the twentieth century public water fountains were installed across the city to bring free water to citizens. This photograph shows one of them: the Chorro de Padilla, a colonial water fountain that poured freshwater from the mountain of Monserrate, one of the mountains from the Cordillera Oriental near Bogotá.
