          Notes  
          Underneath a main street, then down a long staircase, is the awesome Yerebetan Cistern, for underground water storage. A total of 336 columns support the structures above, a space bigger than two football fields. The cistern was first built under a basilica by 7000 Roman slaves in 542 A.D. Water to fill it was delivered by an aqueduct from 19 km away.
