Abstract

The cistern of Nea Moni in Chios, dating to the mid-11th century, follows the types and forms of the architectural heritage of the capital, Constantinople. The restoration works done a few years ago revealed a hitherto unknown repair of the building in the 15th century, evidenced by pottery coming from the workshops of southeastern Spain used to fill the roof of the building.
