Site 19: Gozo Citadel - Private Residence

This cistern was located in a private residence just a few doors over from the restaurant from site A. This was another deep cistern, with about 7 feet of water. Although the water in this cistern was fairly clear, there was a lot of silt that had accumulated at the bottom which made driving around difficult. Overall, this cistern had a large oval shape, and is thought to be around 500-600 years old. A short video of what the robot saw during the 2009 expedition can be found here.
