Review:

Kapitelplatz (Chapter Square) is a spacious square in Salzburg's Old City that is bordered by several notable buildings, including the Salzburg Cathedral, the Cathedral provost, and archiepiscopal palace, St. Peter's Monastery and the Cathedral Chapter's mills. Once the site of the Cathedral Abbey, the square is home to the Chapter Fountain, which was built by Archbishop Leopold Firmian in 1732 and modeled on Roman fountains. The fountain features a sculpture of Neptune, God of the Sea, holding a crown and a trident mounted on a seahorse spurting water designed and sculpted by Josef Anton Pfaffinger.
