Roman Mammisi

In the southwestern corner of the temple precinct, a rectangular sacred lake, shrouded in mystery, once mirrored the heavens above. Today, it stands void of water, its boundaries embraced by towering trees that have taken root within its ancient walls. A symphony of steps, artfully concealed within the stone, once led pilgrims to the water’s edge when it flowed at a lower level. Adjacent to the lake, a well, its rock-cut steps a testament to craftsmanship of old, served as a vital source of water for the daily rituals within the temple, a lifeline connecting the terrestrial and divine realms.

Step into the Roman Mammisi, where each stone and inscription carries echoes of an ancient world, waiting to reveal its secrets to those who tread upon its sacred soil. Here, time itself becomes a tapestry, woven with threads of devotion, myth, and enduring wonder.
