Origin of the Name Fortuna

Curiosity · Fortuna, Oriental, Murcia

Image of Fortuna, not of the place itself.

In Arab times the town was called Yusor, meaning 'to be fortunate', from which its present name is said to derive. It is thought that the spring which gave rise to the Roman baths was a place of worship of the goddess Fortuna.
