Monumental fountain Nymphaeum

Three Pools Fountain, Monumental Fountain (Nymphaeum), Devlet Agorası
Turkey, Side
The monumental fountain Nymphaeum was built in the II century BC in honor of the Roman emperor, dedicated to the deities of water - the nymphs. The fountain is located in the north-east of the city behind the fortress walls, opposite the city gates. Today you can see only two floors of the monument, but it is assumed that the fountain was three-story, and its height reached 5 meters, width - 35 meters. From the outside, the fountain was lined with marble and decorated with original frescoes. Many interesting statues and decorative elements of the fountain are kept in the Side Museum.

We visited this place on our own. The first thing that tourists see entering or entering the ancient city of Side is the monumental Nymphaeum fountain. The monumental fountain Nymphaeum (or the Fountain of the Three Pools) is a unique monument of ancient architecture in the city of Side. Built in the II century. n. e. in honor of the Roman emperors Vespasian and Titus. The fountain had three floors and reached a height of 5 m. Its width was 35 m.
