The Font de les Piques is a work of heritage in Lleida protected as a Bé Cultural d'Interès Local. The fountain features pilasters and a pediment over a background plan framed with a stone relief shield.
Inside the base of the structure, a relief of an animal head protrudes from the lower part, where the water flows out. This architectural detail serves as the source of the fountain's water.
The fountain has a history of relocation. It was moved from the water draw system of Carrer de les Piques, near Plaça Cervantes, in the year 1950. It was subsequently placed in its current location in the early seventies.
