Series of rooms connected by tunnels underground

Tunnel rooms


Vocabulary

  • Cunicoli: narrow passages.
  • Pozzi: shafts/boreholes.
  • Cisterne: cisterns for water storage.

Anatomy

  • Shafts deliver air/light and access for maintenance.
  • Bridges span cisterns to reach all surfaces.

Try this: Look for tool marks around pozzi — signs of repeated work.
