According to Roman mythology, Neptune was the king of the seas and oceans. He managed a large kingdom of the water. Neptune was a just ruler who supported sailors. However, when he got angry, he was throwing bolts of lightning. I saw many monuments dedicated to Neptune in different places on our planet. In my honest opinion, Neptune's fountain (monument) in Gdańsk is the most beautiful amongst all. Created by the great Baroque architect Abraham van den Blocke. The fountain was executed in brass and open for the public in 1633. Weight 1433 lb. In the XVII century, a tank of water located on the nearest house roof supplied the fountain a proper water pressure. Since an electric era set in, a water tank was removed and the induction motor starts supply water pressure. I admired that artistic work in September 2015.

One of the most important spot in Gdansk. Must see for all turists but also a nice place for walk for locals.
Amazing fountain. Especially beautiful at night. Many café and restaurants near by and the whole area buzzing. Highly recommend!
Heart of old town. If you're coming to visit gdansk then a photo with the fountain is a need.
Most stunning street corner in the old town Gdańsk, totally breath taking with its history & brillant architectures. You won’t miss it if you visit this city. Highly recommend to visit the old town in an early morning before the crowds arrive. Close to the Fontaine 200 meters further you can taste the yummy local ice cream Lody, totally a must try.
It's a beautiful fountain at the end of a really beautiful mediaeval street!!!
Beautiful Fountain..love old town Gdansk..so much history. during anyone's stay a must is to go up the top of ST Mary's church the views are amazing is quite a climb around 400 steps and at first it's a bit of a squeeze but it's so worth it....Also a nice place to go is Sopot which has a lovely pier..
Always stands and protects, watches and amaze
