Fountain of the Frogs
Seville, Spain
The Fuente de las Ranas (Fountain of the Frogs) is in Maria Luisa Park in Seville. Originally palace gardens, they were rebuilt for the Ibero-American Exposition of 1929. There are eight frogs surrounding a duck and turtle, which sit in the middle of the fountain. From what I gather from this Spanish blog, the fountain dates from around 1914 and has been restored several times since then (1970, 1992); it also seems to be the target of fairly frequent vandalism.
