Water Tower

Water tower - castellum aquae, was regularly found at the end of each Roman aqueduct. Water was supplied from this reservoir to the wells and fountains, basins, thermae and maybe the irrigation canals. Its longitudinal axis is oriented north-south. There is a 10m-height differential between the water tower site and the valley in which the Mediana buildings are located.
