Underground Cistern, Mycenae

The corbelled passage is wide enough for two people to stand side by side. It leads to the underwater cistern, 18 meters below the surface, through a steep decenting path paved with stone. The cistern itself at the end of the path is a quadrilateral roofed shaft and collected water through clay pipes, from the natural spring that lay outside the citadel.
