Neptune’s fountain
The obvious ruler of a seaside city: J.W. Neptune. A place worthy of god: a representative square. Fame: legendary. One of Gdańsk's legends says that when the anticipated Neptune Fountain was erected in the place of the city's well in Długi Targ, the admiration of the cheering Gdańsk residents, spontaneously throwing golden ducats into the water, was gracefully tickled by the deity's vanity. His Highness showed His grace and power, and by churning the water with his trident, he broke the gold into tiny flakes adorning the brilliant Goldwasser herbal liqueur. It was probably no coincidence that later the fountain was fenced with an iron grate...
