Mağlova Aqueduct, Ottoman aqueduct in Eyüpsultan and Sultangazi, Turkey.
The Mağlova Aqueduct extends 257 meters in length and rises 35 meters high, featuring a two-level design with eight large arches below and eight smaller ones above.
Built between 1555 and 1562 by architect Mimar Sinan during Suleiman the Magnificent's reign, the aqueduct transported water from Belgrade Forest to Istanbul's center.
The structure represents the technical capabilities of Ottoman engineering, demonstrating the empire's commitment to developing public infrastructure for water distribution.
A quarter of the aqueduct structure submerges under Alibeyköy dam waters, becoming visible only when water levels decrease during certain periods.
The Turkish government issued commemorative coins featuring the Mağlova Aqueduct in 2005, with 1,250 pieces minted at 20 TL each.
