In honor of place at the center of the crowded Piazza della Signoria, the Fountain of Neptune has for some time been one of Florence’s most remarkable landmarks, set against a backdrop of the amazing Palazzo Vecchio (Town Hall). The Neptune Fountain merits a visit throughout the entire year; if water flows from its faucets, the wellspring is a great statuesque piece portraying Greek god Neptune in a shell-chariot, being drawn by four sea-horses and proclaimed by conch-shell blowing merman. Neptune sits gladly, dressed in a mantle while clasping a Trident as a symbolic representation of his domain over the seas, while the horses are portrayed moving and the whole wellspring is enclosed by sculpted balusters and vases loaded up with flowers. The intricate bronze and marble statue portrays a 5.6-meter-high picture of Neptune, the Roman God of the Sea, with the essence of Cosimo I de 'Medici, stood on a high pedestal over the water, around which Satyrs and horses skip around. Despite sustaining considerable harm throughout the long term, including losing one of its hands to vandals back in 2005, the statue has now been painstakingly restored and remains a famous gathering place for the two locals and tourists.
