Fountains decorated with multi-figured gilded sculptural groups were built in the pools of the Upper Gardens between 1733 and 1739. The Neptune Fountain in the centre incorporates a wonderful sculptural composition made by Chr. Ritter and G. Schweigger in Nuremberg in the 17th century. Large Image >
