Neptune fountain, Baroque fountain in Upper Garden of Petergof, Russia.
Neptune Fountain features a central figure of Neptune on a granite pedestal surrounded by sculptures of horsemen, dolphins, and winged dragons.
Originally designed by Georg Schweiger in Nuremberg during 1660, the fountain was purchased by Emperor Paul I for 30,000 rubles and installed at Petergof.
The fountain represents classical maritime mythology through its sculptures and forms part of the extensive water features in the Petergof palace complex.
The fountain operates through a gravity-based water system from Ropsha Heights, eliminating the need for mechanical pumps to maintain water flow.
Twenty-seven lead elements covered in gold plating compose the fountain structure, which was initially created to mark the end of the Thirty Years War.
