The Nymphaeum, or main public fountain of old Roman ‘Philadelphia’, dates back to the end of the 2nd century AD. It is a half octagonal building of symmetrical design with a restored length of 68 m. The lower part is the foundation built on barrel vaults. The second floor consisted of three large apses with two rows of niches designed to host statues.
After 3 years of restoration, the Nymphaeum Archaeological Park reopened in October 2018.
