This big monumental fountain of Side is situated opposite the main gate. It is original length was 35 m and height was 15 m. The water to this Nymphaeum was brought from the aqueduct through a large water pipe.
The three floored high front side of the fountain was decorated with three large overlapped niches, each having three water gutters. The arched niches were separated from one another by Korinth style columns. Inside the niches there were statues.
