Sofra Cistern

La sofra is a huge Roman underground cistern installed in the 11th century. It is located northeast of Souk el Reba. This water supply encloses a large Byzantine church. It is entered through an iron gate on the northeastern side, but this battered old metal door is often locked. They have the capacity to contain 3,000cu.m/660,000gal. The columns of the church rise from the black waters—a view you should not miss.
