Neptune Fountain

The Fountain of Neptune (Fontana del Nettuno) at Piazza Navona is a real treasure. Tucked at the northern end of the square, it often feels a little quieter than the central fountain, which makes it a perfect spot to pause and take in the details. The sculpture of Neptune fighting a sea monster, surrounded by playful sea nymphs and creatures, is so dynamic and full of movement—it almost looks like the scene could come to life at any moment. I loved how this fountain balances the grandeur of Piazza Navona. It adds to the beauty of the square while offering something unique and dramatic. With the lively atmosphere of the piazza around you, the fountain feels like the perfect mix of art, history, and storytelling in stone. Definitely worth stopping by while exploring the square.

In my opinion the finest fountain in Rome, it is relatively quite but so beautiful to see in person. I would highly recommend staying for a while here and seeing the fountain from all angles.
