    The Neptune Fountain in Schönbrunn Palace Park was built between 1778 and 1780 as part of the redesign of the complex under Empress Maria Theresa. The fountain is a good hundred meters long, almost fifty meters wide and, without figures, a little over seven meters high. de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neptunbrunnen_(Wien)

      Under the direction of the court architect Johann Ferdinand Hetzendorf von Hohenberg, excavations for the basin began in 1776 and after four years of construction, the fountain was completed before the monarch died. The design most likely came from J. F. Hetzendorf von Hohenberg, the figural group made of Sterzing marble was created by Wilhelm Beyer. A retaining wall swinging back against the mountain slope, which is provided with a balustrade decorated with vases, forms the back wall of the huge fountain basin.
