Notes
General Note:
The De Soto Plaza and Fountain, built in 1925, is named after Hernando de Soto, the Spanish explorer and conquistador. The plaza features a monumental freestanding fountain that serves as a traffic circle at the intersection of Sevilla Avenue, Granada Boulevard and De Soto Boulevard. Designed by Denman Fink, the pedestal-type fountain supports an obelisk and features four relief carvings of faces containing water jets. Vintage lanterns provide light when the dark of nights falls.
