The market square in Świdnica is one of the best-preserved markets in Lower Silesia, surrounded by colorful tenement houses and full of atmospheric cafes. In the center there is a historic town hall with a viewing tower available for tourists. It is worth walking up to the Neptune fountain. The area is friendly to road cyclists - good quality asphalt roads lead here from the direction of Wrocław and Wałbrzych. The market square is a good place for a break on the route - you can safely leave your bike here and replenish your supplies. In the season, it is worth watching out for pedestrians, because it can be crowded.

Also noteworthy is the six-sided ceiling of the fountain, decorated with reliefs depicting the four-field coat of arms of Świdnica, the double-headed imperial eagle, the lion - the symbol of the Bohemian Kingdom, the Silesian eagle, the tabard coat of arms of the then starost of the Duchy of Świdnica-Jawów, Hans Anton von Schaffgotsch, and a Latin inscription which reads in Polish: "This fountain rebuilt and decorated at the expense of the city. 1732." Interestingly, in the past in Silesia Neptune was affectionately called "Jurek with the pitchfork" - "Gabeljürge". Even some postcards with the image of the sea god bore the inscription: Neptune Fountain "Gabeljürge".
