Princeville Neptune Fountain

In 1989, Australian business magnate Christopher Skase acquired 7,000 acres of land in Princeville and commissioned the construction of a grand fountain reminiscent of the "Fountain of Love" at Cliveden House in the UK. Crafted by 12 artisans in Italy from a massive 900-ton block of marble, the 200-ton fountain was transported to Kauai in 11 containers over the course of a year and installed over four months. Initially costing $1 million, the fountain became a cherished landmark at Princeville's entrance. However, neglect over the years has left it dilapidated and overrun with mosquitoes. Despite its current state, restoration efforts are underway, promising the eventual return of the Princeville Neptune fountain to its former glory.
