Aqua Augusta, Roman aqueduct in Campania, Italy
The Aqua Augusta stretches over 140 kilometers through Campania, featuring underground tunnels and elevated arches to transport water across varied terrains.
Built between 30 and 20 BCE during Emperor Augustus's reign, this engineering structure supplied water to eight cities including Pompeii, Naples, and Misenum.
The aqueduct system represents Roman engineering excellence through its sophisticated water management techniques and precise gradient calculations for water flow.
Visitors can observe remaining sections of the aqueduct at Ponti Rossi in Naples, where ancient bridge structures demonstrate Roman construction methods.
The terminal point of the aqueduct houses the Piscina Mirabilis, a massive underground reservoir carved into rock with a capacity of 12,600 cubic meters.
