Mercury fountains existed in some castles in Islamic Spain?
[citation needed] The most well-known modern example is a sculpture designed by the American artist Alexander Calder, commissioned by the Spanish Republican government for the 1937 World Exhibition in Paris.
The artwork is a memorial to the siege of Almadén by General Franco's troops; at the time, the region supplied 60 percent of the world's mercury.
[1] The fountain was a sculptural counterpart to Guernica, Pablo Picasso's protest against Spanish Civil War atrocities.
