<ul><li>The cisterns of Fermo are an archaeological site situated on top of the hill, at 310 metres (1,020 ft) above sea level. Fermo boasts one of the most gigantic and well-preserved example of Roman <a href="Cisterns" class="mw-redirect" title="Cisterns">cisterns</a> in Italy. They were built around the 1st century a.C. The structure is a rectangular construction of about 30 by 70 metres (98 by 230 ft) consisting of 30 underground rooms: they provided water for the city probably through public fountains. The underground pipe network above the cisterns was connected to a canal around the external walls. From the canal, small pipes brought water into the cisterns: water inlets are still visible inside the rooms. The cisterns are made of <a href="Opus_caementicium" class="mw-redirect" title="Opus caementicium">Opus caementicium</a> which is the waterproofing old Roman <a href="Concrete" title="Concrete">concrete</a>.
