At the southern edge of Perge´s acropolis was a monumental fountain. It is located at the end of a colonnaded street. The fountain was discovered during excavations in 1970. Water was delivered to a pool located behind the facade via a covered canal. From this pool water flowed through an opening just below a reclining statue of Cestrus (river god) and into an exposed, decorative pool. From here water overflowed into a canal which divided a colonnaded street. (Location: Perge)
