The Nymphaeum of Jerash

The Nymphaeum: Jerash's ornate public fountain, once topped with marble and paint.

The Jerash Nymphaeum is the city's ornate public fountain — a two-storey carved facade fed by an aqueduct, its basin still holding water, once crowned with marble and painted stucco.

It sits beside the Oval Plaza on the Cardo. Travellers who hire car & driver in Jordan pause here between columns, and full package tours to Jordan explain the ancient water system.
