Aqueduct of Hadrian in Athens, Roman aqueduct in Attica Region, Greece
The underground tunnels of the Aqueduct of Hadrian extend for 25 kilometers from Mount Parnitha to Kolonaki through a network of 465 water wells.
The construction of this water supply system began in 125 AD and reached completion in 140 AD, functioning as the primary water source until 1456.
The engineering methods employed in this aqueduct demonstrate the technical knowledge transfer between Roman builders and local Greek construction practices.
The tunnel maintains a consistent height between 1.2 and 1.6 meters with a width of 0.8 meters, allowing water to flow naturally through its gradual slope.
This aqueduct remains the single Roman water system of comparable scale in Europe that continues to transport water in the present day.
