This fountain is located at the exit of Viso del Alcor towards Carmona, on the right, on the Moscoso road. The waters are collected in a fountain with vault, built in brick, from which comes a single pipe, whose waters are channeled to a nearby trough, now become a symbolic place in the pilgrimage in honor of Santa Maria del Alcor Coronada, Patron Saint of El Viso, because in this place a stop is made on the way to the chapel of Alcaudete to pray the Angelus. The pillar is located in a resting place of a well-known royal cattle track.
Located in front of the Alunada fountain, on the next slope of the Alcor, facing east. The outcrop of the fountain is piped, hence it cannot be seen with the naked eye, since it passes under the road, although a few meters from the fountain it emerges in a culvert that leads to the aforementioned pillar. The waters of the pillar feed the stream.
The abundance of water and fertile land has given rise to a high population density since the Chalcolithic, being found in the area an abundance of archaeological sites: – El Moscoso Oeste – Camino de la Alunada I and II – Rancho del Zurdo Este, Rancho del Zurdo Norte, Rancho del Zurdo I, Rancho del Zurdo II and Rancho del Zurdo III – La Alunada We can highlight among them, the extensive site of Rancho del Zurdo, a rural site of the first order strategically located on a slope of the alcor towards the Vega, in one of the ports of access to the fertile countryside and terraces. This site, rich in water, has continuity from the Copper Age to the contemporary period. The Romans tamed the water, building the extensive Moscoso mine, and defended the area with a tower, which was barely maintained until the middle of the 18th century.
The importance of Moscoso is such that it gave rise to a Marquisate, a noble title that King Carlos II granted in 1679 to Juan Arias de Saavedra y Ramírez de Arellano, IV Lord of Moscoso and Loreto.
