Virtual tour of Sagalassos, ancient Pisidia (modern Turkey)

Antonine Nymphaeum, Sagalassos

The captivating Antonine Nymphaeum is a huge monumental fountain constructed on the north side of the Upper Agora by the Romans between 161 and 180 AD in the ancient city of Sagalassos in Pisidia, southwest Anatolia (nowadays Minor Asia).

No less than seven different types of stone went toward the edifice that actually measures a good 9m high and 28m long, with cascading water falling off a 4.5m height to add further gloss to its presence!

It fell in ruins due to a devastating earthquake in the mid seventh century AD but has been largely restored in recent decades.
