    The cisterns, the work of Septimius Severus, had the function of providing water for the Second Parthian legion. On some occasions it is possible to visit them, it is necessary to contact the Civic Museum of Albano.

    The cistern was built by the architects of the II Praetorian Legion to ensure the necessary water supply for the camp and surrounding dwellings. They could store 10,000 m³ of drinking water.
    However, their importance is not only due to this, but also because they are still perfectly functional today, being fed by Roman-era pipelines that receive water from springs located along the sides of Lake Albano.
