Horses were washed here when they were smelly in older days. No shampoo at that time

It's a square in the old town of Salzburg near the Cathedral. Lots of shops and cafes nearby and the birthplace of Mozart and the Hohensalzburg castle ain't far from here.

Nice water fountain in Kapitelplatz with a Neptune theme

This sculptured fountain built in 1732, the Kapitelschwemme, is a Baroque style horse well replacing the historic horse drinking pond that was here from the middle ages. It is considerably more interesting than the hubristic golden ball in Kapitelplatz yet these days receives less attention.

"Lovely introduction to the central part of Salzburg" We used this piazza as a place to meet the group, whether it was under Mozart's statue or here in front of Neptune's Fountain. It's a beautiful place to relax and enjoy, watching the tourists and others go by. There are plenty of eateries and places to sit, get out of the train, get out of sun. You choose. The fountain itself was made by known sculpture Josef Anton Plaffinger and shows Neptune, the god of the sea holding and trident and crown mounted on a seahorse spurting water. Enjoy this lovely attraction

We quickly visited this beautiful square as we left the Salzburg Cathedral.  It's quite close to ResidenzPlatz and Mozartplatz.  There are a few things that make this square unique.  For one, there is an amazing view from the “Neptune and sea-steed of the chapter flood” fountain.  Secondly, a really picturesque view of the Hohensalzburg Fortress on top of the mountain.  Just like something out of a magazine.  Lastly, you'll surely notice 'Sphaera' which is a 9 meter high 'emotionless man' on top of a golden sphere almost gazing at the mountain and Hohensalzburg Fortress.
