Fontana del Tritone, Monumental fountain in Municipio square, Naples, Italy
The Fountain of Neptune features a central figure of Neptune with a trident, surrounded by four lions holding shields and two sea monsters.
The fountain originated during the Spanish Viceroyalty of Count Olivares, with construction by Giovanni Domenico D'Auria between 1600 and 1601.
Swiss architect Domenico Fontana influenced the design, while sculptors Michelangelo Naccherino, Pietro Bernini, and Cosimo Fanzago contributed to its creation.
The fountain relocated multiple times throughout history before settling in its current position in front of the Naples Town Hall building in 2015.
During the revolt of Masaniello in 1647 and the sacking of Naples in 1672, the fountain sustained significant damage requiring restoration in 1675.
