The Fuente de la Sirena (Fountain of the Mermaid) in Lleida is found in the centrally located Parc dels Camps Elisis (like the French Champs-Élysées, Camps Elisis refers to the Elysian Fields or Elysium - the final resting place for the souls of heroes in Greek mythology). map

The current mermaid statue replaced the deteriorating earlier statue of a nymph in 1982. Despite its diminutive size, the mermaid statue is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Lleida.
