Roman cisterns, Archaeological site and historical museum in Fermo, Italy.
The Roman Cisterns span 2,200 square meters underground, featuring 30 interconnected rooms arranged in three parallel rows beneath the city center.
Emperor Augustus commissioned these cisterns in the first century to supply drinking water to the Roman colony of Firmum Picenum through an advanced engineering system.
The cisterns demonstrate Roman engineering capabilities through their construction techniques, including the use of opus signinum for waterproofing and strategic placement of ventilation shafts.
Visitors can access the cisterns through guided tours starting at the Archaeological Museum on Via Paccarone 36, with tickets available at multiple locations.
The underground chambers served as wartime shelters during World War II, with visible inscriptions from that period still preserved on the walls.
