Moria Aqueduct, Roman archaeological site in Moria, Lesbos, Greece
The aqueduct extends over 170 meters in length and features seventeen arches constructed with carved stone plinths and solid brick upper sections.
Built during the late second or early third century AD, this water transport system delivered 127 million liters of fresh water daily to Mytilene.
The structure represents Roman engineering methods through its combination of local marble, brick construction, and precise water flow calculations.
The site remains accessible throughout the year and stands near the main road connecting Moria village to Mytilene on the island of Lesbos.
The structure rises 26 meters high and incorporates underground channels carved directly into rock formations to maintain water flow across varied terrain.
Location: Mytilene Municipality

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.
