The Nymphaeum was a very large, three-story fountain complex that was dedicated to the nymphs. It was built in the 2nd century AD.

The Nymphaeum of Side, a monumental fountain complex, was built during the reign of Antionius (140–180 BC). The 12 m high and 52 m long walls are still preserved.
The fountain was fed by a branch of the aqueduct from the Taurus Mountains.

The aqueduct that supplied Side with water from the Taurus Mountains was a 25 km long aqueduct built over 2,000 years ago. According to ancient sources, in the area of today's Oymapinar Dam, slaves had to cut canals through the rock. Through such canals and aqueducts, the water was conveyed to the nymphaeum in front of the city gate in Side, and from there via further aqueducts to the consumption points in the city.
