Diocletianus Aqueduct, Roman aqueduct in Split, Croatia.
The Diocletianus Aqueduct extends for nine kilometers through stone arches, connecting the Jadro River to the center of Split at a height of 16.5 meters.
Emperor Diocletian ordered the construction of this water supply system between the third and fourth centuries to provide water for his palace in Spalatum.
The aqueduct represents Roman engineering methods with its system of vertical panes and steel pins that helped builders maintain precise slope calculations during construction.
Visitors can explore the 700-meter underground section of the aqueduct, which contains clear water and displays original Roman waterproof plaster on its walls.
The tunnel houses small albino crabs beneath its stones and maintains a consistent three percent slope across its length to facilitate water flow.
