Neptune Fountain, Renaissance fountain in Dolní Square, Olomouc, Czech Republic

The Neptune Fountain features a central statue of the Roman god Neptune surrounded by four horse-shaped gargoyles in a sandstone basin.

The fountain emerged in 1683 as one component of six High Baroque water features constructed throughout the historic center of Olomouc.

The fountain reflects Roman mythology through its design, connecting to local tales about Gaius Julius Caesar establishing the city of Olomouc.

The fountain initially functioned as a water reservoir for Olomouc residents, distributing drinking water through the central square system.

Gdansk sculptor Michael Mandík created the Neptune statue while stonemason Václav Schüler constructed the basin with detailed craftsmanship.
