点评:Visiting the Nymphaeum in Jerash was hands-down my favourite moment on site—and it’s easy to see why. Standing before this grand 2nd-century public fountain, you can’t help but be struck by the sheer scale and craftsmanship. Even in its ruined state, the detail is unbelievable: intricately carved columns, decorative niches, and the remains of what would’ve been a beautifully flowing multi-tiered water feature.
We arrived in the late-August heat, and for a second you can almost imagine what this place felt like when water cascaded down its marble façade, cooling and refreshing everyone who passed through the city’s heart. It must’ve been a showstopper in its prime, and honestly—it still is. The height of the structure alone makes you pause for a moment, especially when you consider it was one of Jerash’s central gathering points.
The Nymphaeum is one of those stops where the imagination kicks into overdrive. Even after exploring temples, theatres, and colonnades, this fountain somehow stands out. If you’re wandering through Jerash, don’t rush past it. Take a moment, look up, and soak it all in—it’s truly one of the city’s most impressive masterpieces.

我们是在八月下旬的酷暑中抵达的,那一刻,你仿佛能感受到昔日水流从大理石外墙上倾泻而下,为每一位途经这座城市中心的人们带来清凉与舒爽的景象。它鼎盛时期必定是令人叹为观止的奇观,而事实上,它至今依然如此。单是这座建筑的高度就足以让人驻足片刻,尤其当你想到它曾是杰拉什的中心聚集地之一时,更是如此。
宁芙神庙是那种能激发无限想象力的地方。即使游览过寺庙、剧院和柱廊之后,这座喷泉依然格外引人注目。如果你漫步在杰拉什,千万不要匆匆略过。不妨驻足片刻,抬头仰望,细细品味——它的确是这座城市最令人叹为观止的杰作之一。
