This fountain is located in the Sneek city center canal, just behind the famous Sneek Water Gate, "De Waterpoort."
I didn't find this fountain visually appealing at all; the colors were somehow too bright, it's hard to describe. The Sneek Water Gate definitely steals the show from the Fortuna Fountain!

German sculptor Stephan Balkenhol drew inspiration for The Fountain of Fortuna from Sneek's periods of prosperity and decline.

The Fortuna Fountain with the golden cornucopia is a must-see.
