Aqueducts of Plovdiv, Roman aqueduct ruins in Plovdiv, Bulgaria.
The remaining red brick and white stone structures of the aqueduct system extend through multiple sections of modern-day Plovdiv, reaching several kilometers in length.
Built during the 2nd and 3rd centuries AD, the aqueduct network transported water from springs in the Rhodope Mountains to supply the ancient city of Philippopolis.
The aqueduct system represents the engineering capabilities of Roman civilization, demonstrating their advanced understanding of water management and architectural techniques.
Visitors can find the main preserved section of the aqueduct at 2 Komatevsko Shosse Street, with regular public transportation stops nearby.
The water infrastructure consisted of two parallel aqueducts that delivered 480 liters per second, equivalent to 43,000 tons of water annually to the Roman city.

The ancient structures transported water across valleys and plains using gravity. Built by Roman and Ottoman engineers, these aqueducts stand up to 50 meters tall, crossing valleys on multiple levels of stone arches. The structures supplied cities with fresh water from distant springs and rivers.
