Roman aqueduct of Patras, Roman aqueduct in Patras, Greece

The aqueduct extends 6.5 kilometers from the Romanos springs to the city acropolis, featuring underground channels and constructed archways crossing valleys.

Emperor Hadrian ordered the construction of a large water cistern at the Romanos springs in Mount Panachaiko during the Roman colonization of Patras.

An inscription near the Romanos springs indicates the presence of a Nymph worship site, connecting water management with religious practices.

The archaeological park, opened in 2018, displays sections of both Roman and medieval aqueducts, with additional remains visible in the Asyrmatos neighborhood.

The water transportation system remained operational until the 17th century, demonstrating the durability of Roman engineering methods.
