The Jerash Nymphaeum Temple was a symbol of the ancient city's prosperity and refinement. It was a monument consecrated to the nymphs and was a massive fountain was built to collect water from natural springs or via an aqueduct system. Impressive and well preserved, would have been fantastic to see how it operated in the past

A marvelous piece of ancient Roman like structure. It is very well build with a tremendous amount for detail. It has some well preserved stone drawings and sculptures. Although the surroundings are even as exciting, the structure stands out. It must have been a magnificent sight in the old days. Certainly worth the visit.

Beautiful Roman-era fountain and one of the most popular sites in Jerash. It's highly detailed in places although the crowd might be too eager to see & touch things around you.

Jerash is a city in Jordan, located 25 Miles North of the capital Amman. Inhabited since the Bronze Age. it’s well known for the ruins of the walled Greco-Roman settlement of Gerasa. Ruins include the 2nd-century Hadrian’s Arch, the Corinthian Columns of the Temple of Artemis and the huge Forum’s Oval Colonnade. Jerash is Jordan's largest and most interesting Roman site, and a major tourist attraction. Its imposing ceremonial gates, colonnaded avenues, temples and theatres. It is considered the best preserved ancient Roman buildings in the world. The Nymphaeum, just as most of the other sites in the old Roman city of Jerash, has been built around the 1st century and is from an architectural perspective a magnificent fountain and one of the most popular sites in Jerash. Better time to visit is early morning as to avoid crowds and high day time temperature.

What an amazing trip what an amazing tour. The place is big and filled with historical treasures. Highly recommend and I am definitely coming again

Part of Jerash complex, the bigest ancient city i ever visited. The Nymphaneum is from Roman period, 2nd century. The fountain was fed by aqueduct. Usually, the Nymphaneum was used to celebrate marriages, according the historians.

the western side of the cardo maximus is the elegant nymphaeum, the main ornamental fountain of Jerash, dedicated to the water nymphs. Built about AD 191, the two-storey construction was elaborately decorated, faced with marble slabs on the lower level, plastered above and topped with a half dome. Water cascaded into a large pool at the front, with the overflow pouring out through seven carved lions’ heads. Although it’s been quite some time since water poured forth, the well-preserved structure remains one of the highlights of Jerash. Several finely sculpted Corinthian columns still frame the fountain, and at its foot is a lovely pink-granite basin, which was probably added by the Byzantines. At one point the entire structure was capped by a semi-dome in the shape of a shell, and you can still make out the elaborate capitals lining the base of the ceiling.(Lonely Planet)

Very good condition and the fountain still works. Pour some water and you'll see the lion heads spewing it out like 1800 years ago

A fairly short walk from the visitor's center brought us to the Nymphaeum. The circular stonework was impressive and we felt like explorers as we kept finding amazing things to see in Jerash.

Beautiful water fountain. How they utilize much precious water is fascinating

Most impressive waterworks

Awesome architecture of colonial street. Nice design .we got nice pics. Its really big.. just right hand side of the street. Seems they used many different color marbales for this. currently there are a few ruins but it shows and can immagine how yhe building was at roman time .

The origin of the building is to be a fountain or a water point dedicated to the nymphs of water nymphs, but it began to represent a building decorated with sounds issued in its waters to provide a beautiful view enjoyed by the city residents passing from the main street. The water coming through a canal at the top passed through statues on the ground floor into the large water basin in front of the building's façade. This wall carries seven small channels with black heads on the side of the basin.

Amazing place to see the ancient Roman times.

Jerash is awesome.
