When I visited Gorizia recently, I also saw this beautiful Neptune fountain on the Piazza della Vittoria in addition to the church. The square is also known as Travnik, which used to be the place. The well was erected in 1756 by Marco Chiereghin of Padua following a project by Nicolò Pacassi. Neptune is the god of the sea and one of the most important deities in Roman mythology.

Yes, the Romans changed the names of the Greek gods. There is a famous Neptune fountain in Madrid that fans of Atlético de Madrid use to celebrate their titles
Thanks for watching and kind comment, my friend….i was lucky im also visited this fountain in Madrid …. but i didn’t know there are Athletics fans celebrating here ….. then its not very busy …. when did they last win the champion title
They last won the Spanish league in 2014. But under Simeone, the current coach, they have won many trophies, in the past was worst. They have lost two Champions League finals in recent years, both of them against Real Madrid and having very bad luck. And if I am not wrong they won the Uefa Europe League in 2018. Yes, the fountain is no so busy. Real Madrid visits the Cibeles fountain and it is more busy of course but they have far much more money than Atlético. Which football team do you support????
I absolutely prefer Athletico than Real ….. hope I don’t disappoint you too much …. I’ve always been cheering for Barcelona
I have always been a Barcelona fan. I have gone to the stadium. I have never liked Real Madrid, never.
We are very similar here …. I never liked Real … I’ve been cheering for Barcelona since I was a kid …. I’ve been to Camp Nou in Barcelona too …. I’ll post it once too
I love fountains in general, especially historic ones like these.
