6 reviews of Neptune Fountain

Iilluminated night

The Fountain of Neptune is one of the works of art that decorate the Piazza Navona in Rome. There are 3 fountains in total in the square, the main, in the center, is the fountain of 4 rivers, one of the best works by Bernini. The Fountain of Neptune is at the tip of the square, it is star-shaped and Neptune is in the center with a trident and is fighting marine animals and there are horses that seem to be running away from the fountain. Neptune is the son of Saturn, the brother of Jupiter and Pluto, one of the 12 great gods of Olympus, is easily recognized by his beard and trident and is sometimes represented with a dolphin, fish or newts.

The Neptune Fountain is illuminated as is the source of the 4 rivers at night, which is a shame, because it is very cute.

The Neptune Fountain

La fontaine de Neptune

Excellent
La fontaine de Neptune est situé à l'extrémité nord de la place Navone. Cette belle fontaine datant de 1576 met en scène le dieu Neptune qui lutte avec son trident contre une pieuvre et autres créatures mythologiques. Les ornements sculptés ont été ajouté au début du 19ème siècle, bien après la construction du bassin.
The Fountain of Neptune is located at the northern end of Piazza Navona. This beautiful fountain from 1576 depicts the god Neptune with his trident fight against an octopus and other mythological creatures. Carved ornaments were added in the early 19th century, long after the construction of the pool.

Neptune, always big and strong, the god...

Neptune, toujours grand et fort, le...

Neptune, toujours grand et fort, le dieu des océans nous observe depuis sa fontaine sur la Piazza Navona. Pour ceux qui ne s'en souviendraient pas Neptune = Poséidon, et on le célèbre particulièrement à Rome le 23 Juillet. Bien que Neptune rappelle un peu le roi Triton de la Petite Sirène, c'est surtout un personnage fort de la mythologie romaine avec une longue barbe et le fameux trident à la main.
Neptune, always big and strong, the god of the oceans we observed from the fountain in Piazza Navona. For those who did not souviendraient Neptune = Poseidon, and is especially famous in Rome on July 23. Although Neptune is somewhat reminiscent of King Triton The Little Mermaid, it is mainly a strong character in Roman mythology with a long beard and the famous trident in hand.

Magníficas fuentes en una hermosa plaza.

La piazza navona es un lugar para disfrutar, tanto durante el día como en la noche. Con un buen ambiente. En ella destacan tres hermosas fuentes, una de ellas la de Neptuno.

The Fountain of Neptune is another art...

La fontaine de Neptune est une autre...

La fontaine de Neptune est une autre des œuvres d´art qui ornent la Piazza Navona de Rome. Il y a trois fontaines en tout sur la place, la principale, qui se trouve au centre, est la fontaine des quatre fleuves, un chef d´œuvre de Bernini. La fontaine de Neptune se trouve a l´extrémité de la place. Elle une forme d´étoile, et Neptune se trouve en son centre, armé de son triton il combat des animaux marins. Il y a des chevaux qui tentent de s´échapper du bassin. Neptune est le fils de Saturne. C´est le frère de Jupiter et de Pluton. Il fait partie des 12 grands dieux de l´Olympe. On le reconnait a sa barbe, son trident, et il est parfois représenté avec un dauphin ou nu poisson, ou alors entouré de tritons. Contrairement a la fontaine des quatre fleuve, la fontaine de Neptune n´est pas éclairée de nuit, c´est dommage car elle est superbe.
The Fountain of Neptune is another art that adorn the Piazza Navona in Rome.

The star-shaped, and Neptune is in the center, armed with his triton he fights marine animals. There are horses who try to escape from the basin. Neptune is the son of Saturn. This is the brother of Jupiter and Pluto. It is part of the 12 gods of Olympus. It is recognized in his beard, his trident, and is sometimes depicted with a dolphin fish or naked, or so surrounded by newts. Unlike the Fountain of the Four River Fountain of Neptune is not lit at night, it's a shame because it is superb.
