The Ancient Reservoir

is part of the water supply system originating in several springs in the Nazareth Hills. Two aqueducts - one carved into the bedrock, the other constructed - once carried the water to Zippori. The major aqueduct leads into an enormous reservoir measuring 260 meters (850 feet) long, 2-4 meters (6-13 feet) wide and about 10 meters (33 feet) deep.
