This dedicated to the god of the sea was designed by Ventura Rodríguez. The divinity is depicted standing on a chariot pulled by two sea horses, holding a coiled snake and a trident in its hands, surrounded by numerous seals and dolphins spouting water. We know that when it was inaugurated, it was in a different position, facing the Cibeles Fountain, and that King Carlos III chose this god as a symbol of the great Spanish navy that he promoted. The people of Madrid, who never lose their sense of humor, tell how one day during the hardships of the Civil War, the statue woke up with a sign that said "either you feed me or you take away my fork".
