Font d'Hèrcules is a historic fountain situated at the junction of Passeig de Sant Joan and Carrer de Còrsega in Barcelona. Constructed between 1796 and 1802 by sculptor Josep Moret, it is notable for its intricate stonework and decorative features. The fountain has a circular design, which allows visitors to walk around it. Following alterations after a royal visit, it assumed its current appearance. Recognised as a local cultural heritage site, it underwent restoration in 1987. Visitors can appreciate its neoclassical architecture and the surrounding area, making it a key attraction in Barcelona's public art landscape.
