★ ★ ★ ★ ★ La grotta si trova nella parte alta del teatro greco, la fonte si trova al centro della parete rocciosa ed era decorata da statue di ninfe.
L' acqua giungeva dall' acquedotto greco di Galemi, ancora oggi i visitatori vengono a rinfrescarsi alla fonte dopo aver visto il teatro greco.
 The cave is located in the upper part of the Greek theater, the source is located in the center of the rocky wall and was decorated with statues of nymphs.
The water came from the Greek aqueduct of Galemi, still today visitors come to cool off at the source after having seen the Greek theater.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Appena sopra il teatro greco suggerisco di visitare questa cavità dove sgorga acqua. Piacevole anche la vista sul teatro e sullo sfondo il mare.
Just above the Greek theater I suggest you visit this cavity where water flows. The view of the theater and the sea in the background is also pleasant.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Teren nad amfiteatrem greckim obfituje w groty wykute jeszcze w czasach antycznych. Ta wyróżnia się tym, że jest jednocześnie ujściem doprowadzonego tu potoku. Przypuszcza się, że był to sposób na doprowadzenie wody na arenę, dając możliwość odgrywania bitew morskich
The area above the Greek amphitheater is full of caves carved in ancient times. This one is distinguished by the fact that it is also the mouth of the stream brought here. It is believed that this was a way to bring water to the arena, making it possible to play sea battles

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Si tratta di una caverna artificiale scavata nella roccia dalla cui parete di fondo sgorga l'acqua di ben due acquedotti e che viene poi raccolta in una vasca. Qualcuno sostiene che fosse il "Mouseion", un ambiente dedicato alle Muse che nel mondo ellenistico costituiva uno dei luoghi d'incontro tra eruditi. Ma ciò che è strabiliante non è tanto la grotta in sè quanto all'infrastruttura che ci porta l'acqua. L'adduttore principale è infatti il famoso "Acquedotto Galermi", un incredibile capolavoro di ingegneria idraulica realizzato nel 480 a.C. per volere del tiranno Gelone. Un condotto scavato in galleria nelle rocce delle pendici del fiume Anapo lungo quasi 40 km. Magnifico, davvero magnifico.
It is an artificial cave dug into the rock from whose bottom wall flows the water of two aqueducts and which is then collected in a tank. Some say it was the "Mouseion", an environment dedicated to the Muses which in the Hellenistic world was one of the meeting places for scholars. But what's amazing is not so much the cave itself as the infrastructure that brings the water to us. The main adductor is in fact the famous "Galermi Aqueduct", an incredible masterpiece of hydraulic engineering built in 480 BC. at the behest of the tyrant Gelone. A tunnel dug into the rocks of the slopes of the Anapo River, almost 40 km long. Magnificent, truly magnificent.
