This glowing white carrara marble fountain is in perfect condition and stands on one corner of the magnificent Piazza Duomo just in front ( or behind) depending which way one comes from, of the fish market which has to be one of the best fish markets one can hope to visit. The fountain is hemmed in by buildings but this does not distract from its beauty. Flowing under the fountain is an underground river. Our guide told us there used to be 36 canals and now on one side behind the fountain, right beside the entrance to the fish market one can see the Fish Market Fountain with its 7 spouts.

Today the myth of Alfeo and Aretusa lives on in the heart of the island of Ortigia in a pool of fresh water, home to papyrus and ducks, that flows into the salty waters of the Great Harbour of Siracus.

Arethusa’s Pool, at the water edge in Ortygia said to be the reincarnation of a water nymph much in the similar legend of Galatea who was turned into a babbling brook (Acis and Galatea, Polyphemus etc. as in the Handel opera). Just another wonder in this ancient city.
