Ninfeo de Alfaro, Roman nymphaeum in Alfaro, La Rioja, Spain.

The architectural complex consists of an arch, a pillar base, and multiple concrete sections positioned along the Alhama River near its intersection with the Ebro.

The structure dates back to the ancient Roman settlement of Graccurris and includes remains of a bridge, road, and dam constructed with large sandstone blocks.

Archaeological excavations at the site revealed ceramic artifacts from the late 2nd century, demonstrating the Roman presence and architectural practices in the region.

The site received national monument status through a royal decree on December 18, 1981, signed by King Juan Carlos I and Culture Minister Soledad Becerril.

The best-preserved section contains the nymphaeum, which functioned as part of a water management system combined with religious and social purposes.
