Elia Fountain

The Elia fountain is located in the southern part of Nikopol. An ancient Roman tombstone is embedded in the front, on which an epitaph is carved in Latin in measured speech, expressing the grief of the Roman financial official in the province of Lower Moesia-Fronton for his late wife Elijah. Touched by the inscription, archaeologist Dijardin placed a second inscription a century and a half ago. The slab is dated to 160-181 AD. Currently, the Elijah fountain is active, with spring water.
