Summary

Description
  • Français : Fontaine d'Aréthuse, Syracuse, Sicile.
  • Deutsch: Syrakus, Sizilien, die Quelle Fonte Aretuse.
  • Italiano: La Fonte Aretusa a Siracusa, sull'isola di Ortigia. Si tratta di una sorgente d'acqua dolce che ha la curiosa caratteristica di sgorgare sulla riva del mare. Nota fin dall'antichità classica, appare oggi circondata dal basamento del bastione spagnolo del 1540; l'attuale sistemazione a Belvedere (comportante l'abbattimento del bastione stesso) risale però solo al 1847. Al centro, una macchia di papiri, parte dell'unica popolazione di papiri selvatici esistenti in Occidente, proprio a Siracusa.
  • English: Papyrus plants of the Arethuse's spring ("Fonte Aretusa") in Syracuse, Italy. It is a fresh-water spring curiously springing along the sea shore. Known since the Greek time, it was rearranged in the semi-circular lake which can be admired today (filled with fresh-water fish and papyrus) only in 1847, demolishing the upper part of the Spanish bulwark still surrounding it, which had been built in 1540.
