Guided Story
Imagine stepping into a living painting. Right in front of you, the Ceres Fountain rises majestically, its figures and lines almost coming to life. Look at the statue of Ceres herself, the Roman goddess of agriculture and fertility, sitting proudly atop the fountain as if she commands the flow of time. Did you know this fountain was once a gathering spot for artists seeking inspiration? You might still catch the faint echo of their discussions as the water trickles softly. Turn around and take in the Neubaukirche to the east – another masterpiece standing the test of time. Here, amidst the architecture and history, past and present blend into a harmonious whole.
