The most interesting places

Neptune's fountain

The Neptune Fountain, built on the initiative of Mayor Bartłomiej Schachmann, was created at Długi Targ in Gdańsk in 1633. The design was created by Abraham van den Blocke, and the monumental figure of Neptune was cast in bronze. Surrounded by Mannerist details and a grid with Polish eagles and the coats of arms of Gdańsk, the fountain was originally colorful and powered by water from hand-filled tanks, which was a technological challenge of that time. Over the centuries, the fountain has witnessed many historical events, and its last renovation took place in 2011-2012, restoring it to its former glory.
