Neptune Fountain : info and guided tour

Introduction to Neptune Fountain

Neptune Fountain is one of the best-known symbols of Gdańsk, on Długi Targ, in the heart of the Old Town. It represents the Roman god of the sea and reflects the city’s maritime history. Set in front of Artus Court, it immediately catches the eye among the restored façades.

The monument combines a bronze statue of Neptune with a stone basin decorated with simple ornamentation. It is part of the square’s historic urban setting and fits into the monumental axis of the Long Market. Its slender silhouette and the god’s pose make it a highly recognizable landmark for visitors.

The fountain is famous because it sums up Gdańsk’s trading and maritime identity in a single monument. It is also one of the most photographed spots in the historic center. Around it, you can admire the façade of Artus Court, the colorful houses of Długi Targ and the constant activity of the square.
