Fountain of Youth

Fountain of Youth was an imaginary spring. Many legends were told about it in both Europe and America. Its waters were supposed to make old people young. Early Spanish settlers in the Caribbean region believed that the fountain was located on an island called Bimini. In 1513, the Spanish explorer Juan Ponce de León set out to find Bimini. During his voyage, he discovered Florida, which since then has been linked to the imaginary fountain.
