Fuente de CantoyaFue construida en el siglo XVIII por Felipe
de Cantoya para beneficio de la ciudad. Su diseño destaca por el arco mixtilíneo, elemento distintivo de la arquitectura virreinal en Querétaro. Este tipo de arcos, inspirados en el arte mudéjar ibérico también fueron utilizados en patios de casonas y algunos claustros de conventos.
English:Fountain of CantoyaThis 18th century caja de agua (literally "water box") is named for Señor Felipe Cantoya, who financed its construction for the benefit of the city. In its design it emphasizes the Mixtilinear arch, a distinctive element of Querétaro civil architecture during the viceroyalty. These arches, also used in courtyards of houses and the cloisters of some convents, were inspired by the Mudejar (Moorish) art of the Iberian Peninsula.
