The construction is typical of that period. It represents a building with a roof, tiles and a little window. It has 5 entry stairs, with an arched door, through which it was possible to enter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to my opinion, the building lost its importance after the Turkish invasion of the city. At the beginning of the Turkish era of Durres, the remained 500 people of the town used the wells to collect the water or used the remainedmedieval taps such as the taps of Ferra and Currila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, the monument is an abandoned. It has been transformed into a storehouse. The vegetation and the construction of a huge wall that circles the house yard near it, has raised the difficulty of visiting it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, even if the Municipality of Durres has put indication tables of this monument and that it is located circa 1 kilometer from the city center, it has not raised any attention of a visitor or any inhabitant from Durres. <\/p>\n\n\n\n ________<\/p>\n\n\n\n Photo on the head: Photo of the medieval cistern, Photo: Gerhard Mema.
