In a roundabout. Neptune, or God of the Seas. Also named for the blue gas giant. This fountain is at a different location that the other one 0.3 miles away. Also, if you look at street view both fountains are similar, but not the same. Sorry, the Wikipedia entry is only in Spanish. I google translated some of it: The Fountain of Neptune is a neoclassical monument that is at the center of the Plaza de Canovas del Castillo, in the Spanish city of Madrid. It was designed in 1777 and construction was completed in 1786.
