Aqua Virgo, Roman aqueduct in Rome, Italy.
The Aqua Virgo extends over 20.5 kilometers through Rome, with most of its length running underground except for 1,800 meters of visible archways.
Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa constructed the Aqua Virgo in 19 BC to supply water to the Baths of Agrippa in the Campus Martius district.
The aqueduct received its name from a young girl who showed Roman soldiers the location of pure water springs near the Aniene River.
Visitors can examine sections of the original Roman masonry in the basement of the Rinascente department store through guided tours.
The water system maintains a gentle gradient of 0.025 percent, incorporating strategic zigzags to naturally filter sediment without requiring settling tanks.
