Old Nicosia aqueduct, 18th-century aqueduct in Nicosia, Cyprus.

The stone aqueduct stretches from Kyrenia Gate to Famagusta Gate, featuring eleven arches constructed with precision engineering techniques.

Built in 1796 by Silahtar Mustafa Aga, this water system transported water from mountain sources to supply palaces and residences in Nicosia.

The structure represents Ottoman architectural influence and engineering methods, connecting different sections of the ancient walled city.

Located near the Liberty Monument and Archbishop's Palace, the aqueduct remains accessible through Nikiforos Fokas Street in central Nicosia.

Recent building demolitions revealed previously hidden sections of the aqueduct, exposing additional arches that were concealed for centuries.
