The Neptune Fountain is the most important Baroque fountain in Dresden. It is located in the Friedrichstadt district in the former French Garden of the Palais Brühl-Marcolini, today's Friedrichstadt Hospital. The fountain was built between 1741 and 1746 by Lorenzo Mattielli according to plans by Zacharias Longuelune. The reliefs "Romulus and Remus" (Rome) and "Pyramids and Sphinx" (Egypt) on the pedestals of the Neptune Fountain were created or renewed by the Dresden sculptor Franz Schwarz around 1890.
Sight 7: Marienbrücke
In Dresden, the Marienbrücke is the name given to two bridges over the Elbe between Wilsdruffer Vorstadt and the Innere Neustadt. The 434 m long stone arch bridge at Elbe kilometre 56.5 has existed since 1852 and, as an initially combined road and railway bridge, was the second fixed Elbe crossing in Dresden after the old Augustus Bridge from the 1730s. The Marienbrücke is the oldest Elbe bridge in the city.
