In front of you is the large cistern of the Acropolis of Perperikon.
It is carved into the rock and measures approximately 11 meters in length, over 5 meters in width, and about 5 meters in depth. The bottom is coated with a special red hydrophobic plaster that prevents leakage.
The cistern supplied water to the inhabitants of the city for centuries, especially during sieges.
Even during dry periods, water remains in it, with no clearly visible source.
