Restoration of the Antonine Nymphaeum
An earthquake in the 7th century CE caused the Antonine nymphaeum to collapse. Its ruins were covered by soil and were only exposed again by archaeological excavations carried out in 1993-1995. Because most of the building elements were found back and the podium of the building was preserved in its original place, it was possible to repair and re-erect the monument. Restoration using the original architectural pieces (anastylosis) began in 1998, continued for 13 summers and was completed in 2010.
