Palace Pool 2

View to the west from the upper level of the Promontory Palace. In the dark portion of the image (about the center of the photo) the foundation of the portion of the palace which extended out into the sea is visible. In the center of it is a rectangular shallow pool (60' [18 m.] wide, 150' [45 m.] long, and originally about 6' [2 m.] deep) which has pools of water in it at various locations. This pool was evidently fed fresh water by an aqueduct system and was surrounded on all sides by a covered portico.
