Aqueduct of Zaghouan, Roman aqueduct in Zaghouan, Tunisia.
The aqueduct stretches 132 kilometers across Tunisia, combining underground tunnels and elevated arches to transport water from Zaghouan springs to Carthage.
Construction began in the second century under Emperor Hadrian to address drought conditions, connecting the Water Temple of Zaghouan to the cisterns of Carthage.
The sacred fountain at the source features elaborate architecture with porticos, columns, niches for statues, and intricate mosaic flooring patterns.
Modern visitors can examine different construction methods along the route, including sections made of brick, adobe, and stone blocks from various restoration periods.
The structure maintained water flow through a calculated gradient system, delivering 30,000 cubic meters of water daily during the second century Roman period.
