Moria Aqueduct, Roman archaeological site in Moria, Lesbos, Greece
Moria Aqueduct is a Roman ruin in a village on Lesbos that consists of arches built from carved stone blocks and brick. The structure stretches over 170 meters and is supported by seventeen arches that remain visible today.
The structure was built in the late second or early third century AD as a water transport system for the city of Mytilene. This ancient infrastructure reveals how vital aqueducts were to Roman settlements.
The structure demonstrates Roman building methods by combining local marble with brick construction. Visitors can observe how ancient engineers moved water across the landscape.
The site is accessible year-round and sits near the main road between Moria village and Mytilene city. You can reach it easily and explore the ruins without special preparation.
The structure was built across changing terrain and used underground channels carved directly into rock formations. This reveals how skillfully Roman engineers moved water across different elevations.
