One of main attractions you cannot miss while walking the main Dluga street. It's set right by the imposing old Town Hall tower. The fountain is dedicated to Sea God Neptune, built in 17 c and beautifully restored.

The Neptune Fountain ⛲️🔱 undoubtedly represents one of the most iconic attractions in the center of Gdansk. Commissioned by the mayor Bartlomiej Schachmann at the beginning of the 17th century, it was then built between 1606 and 1615 by Peter Husen and Johann Rogge based on a design by Abraham van den Blocke. The work, which attests to the link between the city and the sea, is inspired by the homologous monument present in Bologna, since Bartlomiej Schachmann himself was fascinated by it during a trip to the Emilian capital. A century later, the rococo style decorations ⚜️ and the perimeter gate were added. The artefact, made of bronze and placed on a pedestal above the upper basin, represents the Greco-Roman deity protector of the seas and oceans 🌊. The water 💧 flows from four lion heads 🦁 which surround the upper basin, then feeding the lower one (characterised by a peculiar quadrilobe section). During our recent weekend in the city we passed by it 🚶🏻‍♂️🚶🏻‍♀️ numerous times without ever stopping there, except on the last evening to take some souvenir photos 📸. The lighting is certainly effective, with the light projected from the bottom upwards thanks to spotlights 💡 presumably installed inside the main tank. Finally, I would like to point out that, in the early afternoon of Sunday, a curious demonstration/party was taking place around the fountain ⛲️ complete with a musical band 🎶🎷🎺🎻 lined up in front of the Dwór Artusa (Arthur's Court) 🏫; I didn't understand what it was about but many people were wearing yellow t-shirts 🟡 and handing out flowers of the same color 🌼🏵. When passing through the area, a stop is a must.

Neptune's Fountain (Fontanna Neptuna) Dlugi Targ - a beautiful city fountain located on the Long Market. The water was refreshing. It was installed in front of the Artus Court in 1633. The Kashubians call the figure Krësztof.

This is one of the prettiest features in the old city and should not be missed. It is easy to see, in the center of the square when you first enter the old town, very large. Lots of people gather here, lots of photos. From another era, adds to the charm of the old town.

The Neptune fountain is a very pretty fountain on Dluga Street. It's usually crowded, and if there is an event going on, they set up tents right in front of it, but you can generally get a nice picture since it's big. Recommended to see if you are on Dluga Street.
