Italy | Bologna | Piazza del Nettuno | Neptune's Square | Fontana del Nettuno | Fountain of Neptune | Meeting Point
The Piazza del Nettuno has been a popular meeting point in downtown Bologna for hundreds of years. Nicknamed "the giant", a large statue of Neptune (Fontana del Nettuno) with a fountain stands tall in the middle of the square. The statue and square both date back to the mid 1560s. Historic buildings including Palazzo del Podesta and Palazzo Re Enzo are close by in the city's Piazza Maggiore.

Social Media Description
We ended up in Neptune's Square several times during our two days in Bologna. It's a fun place to watch people searching for the perfect spot to photograph the statue of Neptune standing tall (and provocatively) on the central fountain.
