Sevastopol Aqueduct, Stone aqueduct in Sevastopol

The Sevastopol Aqueduct features multiple stone arches spanning across valleys, connecting the Black River source to the admiralty docks through three operating tunnels.

Engineer-colonel John Upton designed this water supply system in the 1840s under Admiral Lazarev's initiative, completing the construction just before the 1853 defense of Sevastopol.

The structure represents both Ukrainian and Russian heritage designations, constructed from local Inkerman stone blocks following classical architectural principles of water distribution.

The aqueduct extends for 18 kilometers from Inkerman Valley, incorporating five multi-arch sections including Chorgunsky, Inkerman, Kilenbalkochny, Apollo, and Ushakova beams.

Built without traditional foundations, the structure rests directly on wooden frames placed on the riverbed, demonstrating an unconventional engineering approach for its time period.
