History
The fountain once decorated the famous Garden of Pozsony. Archbishop Forgách Ferenc of Esztergom established the 30 hectares garden in the 17th century and it became famous throughout Europe. After the elimination of the garden the Baroque statue was moved to the inner courtyard of the Primate's Palace.
