Created by Lorenzo Mattielli between 1741 and 1746, the Neptune Fountain stands as Dresden's most significant baroque water feature. Situated in the former French Garden of Palais Brühl-Marcolini, it captivates with intricate reliefs of Romulus and Remus, as well as pyramids and a sphinx. These details were restored around 1890 by Franz Schwarz, adding to the fountain's distinctive visual appeal.
