Fountain of Arethusa
tourist attraction · Syracuse
The Fountain of Arethusa is a freshwater spring on the western seafront of Ortygia, held in a walled semicircular pool below a terrace above the harbour. In Greek myth the nymph Arethusa resurfaced here after fleeing under the sea from Arcadia; papyrus grows in the pool, which is also home to fish and ducks.
