Nymphaeum of Egeria, Archaeological site in La Valle della Caffarella, Rome, Italy
The Nymphaeum features stone walls, niches, and water elements within a natural spring setting near the Via Appia Antica.
The structure dates from the second century AD and belonged to Herodes Atticus, who dedicated this estate to his wife Annia Regilla.
Ancient Romans connected this spring to the mythological encounters between King Numa Pompilius and the water nymph Egeria.
Visitors can reach the site through La Valle della Caffarella park, though wheelchair access remains limited due to uneven terrain.
The spring water still flows through the ancient structure, maintaining its function as a water source after nearly two millennia.
