Tiyatro yanındaki Agora’nın batı ucunda yer alan ve müze ile arasında 15 m. yüksekliğinde ve 7 m. genişliğinde bir kemer bulunan çeşmenin cephesi mermerlerle kaplıydı. Tek kurnalı bu çeşme, üzerindeki mermer frizler ile dikkati çeker.

    (Translated by Google) One of the symbolic structures of the ancient city of Side. It is located next to the ancient city entrance gate, on the way from the Side archaeological museum to the ancient theater. The building, which has survived to the present day, has very valuable architectural building elements. The grooved columns and partially surviving marble columns and interest are extremely important and remarkable. The building is 15 meters high and 7 meters wide. The fountain has a single basin. It is one of the structures that I think should be visited and closely examined during a visit to the ancient city of Side. The cassette flooring application on the ceiling of the building is also very impressive. Most of the friezes seem to have survived and have been successfully restored, preserving their integrity. The information sign in front of it needs to be renewed, most of the information is not read. (Original) Side antik kentinin sembol yapılarından biri. Side arkeoloji müzesinden antik tiyatroya ilerlerken, antik kent giriş kapısının yanında yer almaktadır. Günümüze ulaşan yapı oldukça değerli mimari yapı elemanlarına sahiptir. Yivli sütunlar ile kısmen günümüze ulaşmış olan mermer sütunlar ve faizler son derece önemli ve dikkat çekicidir. Yapı 15 mt yüksekliğinde ve 7 mt genişliğindedir. Çeşme tek kurnalıdır. Side antik kenti ziyaretinde mutlaka ziyaret edilmesi ve yakından incelenmesi gerektiğini düşündüğüm yapılardandır. Yapının tavanında yapılmış olan kaset döşeme uygulaması da son derece etkileyicidir. Frizlerin büyük bölümü, bütünlüğünü koruyarak günümüze ulaşmış ve başarılı bir şekilde restore edilmiş olduğu görünmektedir. Önünde yer alan bilgilendirme tabelasının yenilenmesi gerekiyor, bilgilerin bir çoğu okunmamamakta.

    (Translated by Google) The monumental fountain Nymphaeum was built in the 2nd century BC in honor of the Roman emperor, dedicated to the water deities - 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 faced with marble and decorated with original frescoes. Many interesting statues and decorative elements of the fountain are kept in the Side Museum. (Original) Монументальный фонтан Нимфеум был построен во II веке до н.э в честь римского императора, посвящен божествам воды – нимфам. Фонтан расположен на северо-востоке города за крепостными стенами, напротив городских ворот. Сегодня можно увидеть только два этажа монумента, но предполагается, что фонтан был трехэтажным, а его высота достигала 5 метров, ширина – 35 метров. С внешней стороны фонтан был облицован мрамором и украшен оригинальными фресками. Многие интересные статуи и элементы декора фонтана хранятся в музее Сиде.

    (Translated by Google) Unfortunately, the monument of Vespasian is no longer there, only the impressive archway can be admired. In autumn, however, a very beautiful place in the morning at sunrise. (Original) Das Denkmal von Vespasian ist leider nicht mehr vorhanden, nur mehr der beeindruckende Torbogen kann bewundert werden. Im Herbst jedoch ein sehr schöner Ort am Morgen beim Sonnenaufgang.
