Qanawat Nympheum
Qanawat Nympheum submitted by AlexHunger : Roman and earlier Holy Well in Syria. The path down the hill from the road is quite reacherous and the water looks quite unsavory. (Vote or comment on this photo)
Holy Well or Sacred Spring in Syria

Ancient Holy well, built over by the Romans.
The path down from the road is quite treacherous, so a way around needs to be found. Also the water doesn't look clean. About 1170 Meters altitude.
