help)The fountain which had a statue of Neptune is not the same fountain as that now found at Argotti Gardens. According to this source, the Argotti fountain was originally built at Ġnien is-Sultan in Valletta, and it was rediscovered and relocated in 1956. The fountain also has the engraved coat of arms of GM Lascaris and not Wignacourt, as seen in this photo. Due to this, I removed the text The fountain itself was relocated to Argotti Gardens in Floriana in 1861, where it remains today from the article. If anyone finds any information about the fate of the fountain, please add it to the article.
