This fountain is called
The Court of Neptune. Here Neptune sits on a rock in the center of the fountain, surrounded by his two sons on either side of his rock.
The planet Neptune is the eighth and outermost planet in our solar system. It is one of the four gas giants of our solar system. The planet Neptune was named after the god, as its deep blue gas clouds gave early astronomers the impression of great oceans.
