The Fountain of Neptune (Spanish: Fuente de Neptuno) is installed in Mexico City's Alameda Central, in Mexico.[1] The fountain has a bronze sculpture depicting Neptune, the Roman God of the sea.[2]
It was made in 1856 by Vital Gabriel Dubray [fr], and cast in iron by the french company Val d'Osne [fr]. Originally destined for a high-class restaurant, it was placed in Alameda Central in 1889.[3][4]
Identical sculptures are placed in the towns of Clermont-Ferrand, Ghisoni and Sète, France [5][6][7] and in the Flora Botanical GardeninCologne, Germany.[8]
