Merkurbrunnen

Was walking along Tal towards Isar Gate when I came across this little fountain. At the centre of the fountain is a sculpture of Mercury, classically dressed in a round hat, traveler's cloak and winged temples. The water in this fountain is actually drinkable, which was especially refreshing as the fountain in set amongst the shade of trees.

Talvez passei

There are many small fountains in the Old Town of Munich including Merkurbrunnen (Mercury Fountain) along Tai Street.What you see here is basically a replica sculpture of the Roman god of mythology and religion Mercury which is housed at the Bargello Museum in Florence, Italy. The sculpture depicts Mercury in a classical pose. The statue is placed upon a small pedestal with four spouts emptying water into a small circular well.In the end, this is an interesting fountain monument in Munich, particular if you enjoy Greek and Roman history and mythology. Have a quick look if you find yourself walking along Tal street.
