Built nearly two thousand years ago as a cistern. it was used until recently (1960's and 70's) as a car repair workshop placed over the rubble! But no longer. The Turkish Touring and Automobile Associon, which converted the old houses in the street into a row of guesthouse, cleaned out the cistern, restored it and transformed in into a "Roman Tavern". The present floor level was reaches by digging down to a debt of seven meters but investigations have show that the six large, massive, single-piece columns descend three meters below this.
