Ancient Roman aqueduct in Caesarea Maritima, Roman water conveyance structure at Mediterranean coast, Israel.
The aqueduct consists of two parallel channels built of limestone blocks stretching 16 kilometers from springs near Shuni to Caesarea Maritima.
King Herod commissioned the first section between 22-10 BCE, while Emperor Hadrian ordered an expansion in 130 CE to meet growing water demands.
Multiple Roman legions left inscriptions on the aqueduct walls, including the Tenth Legion's insignia and dedication text near Beit Hanania.
The structure remains accessible along Caesarea's beach, with parking facilities nearby and no entrance fee required for viewing the ruins.
The aqueduct maintained water supply for 1200 years through an engineering system that managed elevation changes across varied terrain.

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.
