MIRABILIS POOL
Go there and contact
Cistern constituting the arrival point of the aqueduct of Serino, supplying water to the cities of Campania.
Built under Augustus, the "Wonderful Pool" is in fact a gigantic cistern. It was the arrival point of the Serino aqueduct, a hundred kilometers long work that supplied drinking water to the cities of Campania and ensured a water supply for the imperial fleet moored in the port of Misene. Its dimensions remain impressive: 70 m long and 25.5 m wide with a capacity of 12,600 litres of water. It is divided into 5 naves and 48 robust pilasters. It is the largest Roman cistern in the world!
