Bekir Pasha Aqueduct, Ottoman aqueduct in Larnaca, Cyprus.
The Bekir Pasha Aqueduct extends for 15 kilometers with 75 stone arches, combining underground tunnels and surface structures to transport water across valleys.
Construction of this water supply system began in 1747 under Ottoman Governor Ebubekir Pasha, requiring three years and 50,000 qirsh to complete the project.
The aqueduct represents Ottoman engineering methods in Cyprus, incorporating Persian qanat techniques to create an effective water management system for Larnaca residents.
Visitors can explore the aqueduct site along the old Limassol road, where the structure maintains its original architectural elements and engineering features.
This water system powered two grain mills and supplied seven public fountains throughout Larnaca, operating continuously from 1750 until the early 1950s.
