Nuremberg, Germany
Very noticeable tourist spot

Introduction

The fountain is a 17-meter tall octagonal pyramid, adorned with 40 statues and golden rings on iron railings, showcasing the exquisite craftsmanship of artisans. It is said that if you rotate the golden rings three times and make a wish, it will come true. Due to this legend, the fountain is always bustling with many tourists. Some believe that the 40 statues represent the worldview of the Holy Roman Empire, including philosophy, the seven liberal arts, the four evangelists, the seven electors, the nine worthies, Moses, and the seven prophets (Hosea, Daniel, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Amos, Isaiah, and Joel).
