Nicopolis Roman Aqueduct, Roman aqueduct in Nicopolis, Greece
The Roman Aqueduct of Nicopolis extends over 50 kilometers, connecting the Louros River headwaters to the ancient city through a network of channels and tunnels.
Built during the 2nd century AD under Emperor Hadrian, this engineering structure supplied water to approximately 150,000 inhabitants until the Ostrogothic invasion in 551.
The aqueduct demonstrates Roman engineering methods with its combination of overhead arch systems, ground-level pipelines, and tunnels carved through mountainous terrain.
The remains of the aqueduct are visible at multiple locations including Archangelos, Stefanis, Skala Louros, and near the village of Agios Georgios.
The structure transported water through two reservoirs in the Nymphaeum before distribution, utilizing natural gradients for gravity-assisted flow throughout the city.
