Vast public fountain dedicated to the nymphs, dating from 191 and featuring a 600 m² pool, 2 colonnaded floors and alcoves

This vast public fountain was dedicated to the nymphs, mythological creatures in the guise of young girls, who were associated with springs, woods and mountains. It dates back to 191 and included a large pool of 600 square metres, two floors with colonnades and alcoves decorated with mosaics and engravings. The lower part was made of marble while the upper part was made of painted plaster. It was surmounted by a dome and water flowed from lions' heads carved into the receptacle. The pink granite basin was added in the Byzantine period.

Dommage, nous aurions souhaité pouvoir nous rapprocher des ruines de cette Nymphée monumentale que l'on peut toutefois voir depuis l'extérieur...

En plein cœur de la ville la nymphée est plutôt facile à trouvé depuis la démolition de certains immeubles qui la cachait. Elle est très belle mais malheureusement en travaux quand j'y suis allée.
