This study identifies factors related to geographical displacements of the Emperor Fountain. It is a monument installed in the late 1866 and in the beginning of 1867, in Matriz square in Porto Alegre (RS), the Porto Alegrense Hydraulic Company due to the celebration of the start of the drinking water supply to Porto Alegre´s citizens. Nowadays, some remaining parts of the fountain are located in Dom Sebastião square, in the city´s downtown. The rebuilding of the historical trajectory of the monument between the periods of 1866-2013 took place from a documental research of qualitative focus in the following places: Vellinho Moyses Historical Archive of Porto Alegre, Historical Archive of Rio Grande do Sul state, Hippolytus José da Costa Museum of Communication, Joaquim José Felizardo Museum. In addition to these places, in the digital collections of the National Library Foundation and in the Center Research for Libraries. At the end of this study, I identified relationships between spatial displacements of the Emperor Fountain and the changes of Porto Alegre´s urban landscape, which are connected to the Political Culture of the most powerful and influent groups of the city. I also noticed that only recently, the decisions regarding the location and preservation of the monument began to be treated by specialized public officials dealing with the city´s cultural heritage.
