This fountain of Neptune, Roman god of water and the sea, is the sculpture decorating Cánovas del Castillo Square in the heart of Madrid. Ventura Rodríguez was the architect who designed this square and Juan Pascual de Mena was the sculptor who carried out the work using white marble. He started in 1782, but two years later died and work was taken over by his student, José Arias, among others, and work was completed in 1786.
Fans of the soccer team Atlético de Madrid flock here to celebrate their team's title victories. Just 500 meters up the avenue, the Real Madrid soccer fans celebrate theirs in Cibeles Square.
