Minoan Fountain, Ancient public fountain on Delos Island, Greece
The Minoan Fountain features a square building with a Doric portico, carved directly into natural rock behind the Stoa of Antigonos.
Built during the second half of the 6th century BC, the fountain remained functional through the Hellenistic period before transforming into residential space.
The fountain bears inscriptions dedicating the spring to Minoan Nymphs, with regulations prohibiting washing, swimming, and waste disposal in its waters.
Visitors can descend nine stone steps on the southern side to reach the water level, where a thin Doric column supports the roof structure.
The fountain house displays a fresco from the 2nd century BC depicting a river god accompanied by three nymphs on its interior walls.
