Tunisia-3063 - Cisterns at Carthage

PLEASE, no multi invitations, glitters or self promotion in your comments, THEY WILL BE DELETED. My photos are FREE for anyone to use, just give me credit and it would be nice if you let me know, thanks - NONE OF MY PICTURES ARE HDR.

 

The Ancient Roman Cisterns at Carthage are an impressive example of Roman engineering. The La Malga cisterns, built by the Romans at the beginning of the second century AD, to store water brought from the Zaghouan hills in an aqueduct 132km (82mi) long. Only 15 of the original 24 cisterns are now left, each 95m (312ft) long, 12.5m (41ft) wide and 11.50m (38ft) high.
