Site 35: Gomerino Palace C - Outside Courtyard

Date of Exploration: March 1, 2011

The third cistern located at Gomerino Palace was located in the outside courtyard behind the main house. This cistern was filled lots of roots from the plants growing around the area and we had to pull the ROV up to remove some of the roots that got tangled in the top propeller.
