The Fountain of Neptune

The Fountain of Neptune is a beautiful neoclassical monument carved in white marble located in the Plaza de Canovas del Castillo, colloquially called Plaza de Neptuno. It is surrounded by magnificent buildings built between the XVIII and XIX centuries.

On the large circular fountain pylon is a huge sculpture of Neptune, god of the seas, who holds a trident while riding on a chariot drawn by two horses with fish tails.
