About Lion Fountain

The Lion Fountain is a lion about four and a half metres long carved in relief on the rock beside the Wadi Farasa path. Water once ran down a channel and poured from its mouth into a basin below. The head has weathered away, but the body and legs are still clear. It is one of the first monuments on the path down from the High Place of Sacrifice, just above the Garden Temple.
