Fuente de Neptuno, Neoclassical fountain in Santiago de Querétaro, Mexico.
The Fuente de Neptuno displays a bronze statue of Neptune holding a trident while standing over fish sculptures on a base representing ocean waves.
Francisco Eduardo Tresguerras designed this fountain in 1797, originally placing it in the garden of the San Antonio Convent before its relocation to Santa Clara in 1908.
The fountain incorporates Roman mythology through Neptune, god of the sea, reflecting the Spanish colonial influence on Mexican public monuments of the 18th century.
The fountain stands at the intersection of Madero and Allende streets in the Santa Clara garden, offering free public access throughout the day.
The current bronze Neptune statue replaced the original limestone sculpture, which remains preserved in the municipal government building after vandalism in 1987.
