Lacus Juturnae

Lacus Juturnae is a formal Roman pool in the Roman Forum, right beside a spring or well in the center of Rome. It is also called the Spring of Juturna, and the name applies not only to the pool itself but also to the nearby spring and shrine. It is a good stop for a short visit that mixes ancient history with one of the Forum’s quieter corners.

Na miejscu można liczyć przede wszystkim na:

• The remains of the Roman-built formal pool, which show how carefully sacred spaces in the Forum were laid out.
• The spring or well next to the pool, traditionally associated with Juturna, the Roman water nymph.
• The shrine dedicated to Juturna, with the pool, spring, and shrine all standing close together in the Roman Forum.

If you are exploring the Roman Forum, this is best seen as part of a longer sightseeing walk, so comfortable shoes are a smart choice. It will suit travelers interested in ancient Roman religion, sacred springs, and compact places that still carry a lot of historical context.
