Manavgata Fountain
Y. Pazarc Mh., 07600 Manavgat/Antalya, Turkey
Description:
The Manavgata Fountain is the oldest fountain in Side. We can say that this fountain in its beauty has no analogues in the world. The nearest fountain to it is the fountain in Italy, built in the time of Septimius Severus.
There is an inscription on the fountain dated to the year 74. It says that the fountain was built in honor of the emperor Titus his son. The niches of the fountain depict sculptures of the emperor and other state officials.
The water of the fountain flows over large stones, beautifully lying on top of each other. Thin streams of water flow from different sources and stone openings, creating an unforgettable sight.
You can find the Manavgat fountain near the Arc de Triomphe, erected in honor of Vespasian.
