The Pink Panther

The work of Miquel Navarro; The Public Fountain, the official name with which the popular ‘Pink Panther‘ was inaugurated, was inaugurated in September 1984 at the southern entrance of the city.

It is the first public work carried out by the natural sculptor from Mislata, who won the National Prize for Plastic Arts in 1986.

According to the author, this sculpture may recall the Roman fountains that commemorate the bringing of drinking water from the vicinity of Rome to the center of the city, although he acknowledges that the vast majority saw in it the mythical fictional character. The work, which was originally red, was restored in 1997 due to its deterioration, being painted pink on one of the occasions to, finally, return red original.
