The Roman Aquaducts

The Roman Aqueducts

An aqueduct is an a arch like structure that the Romans built to to bring water from outside sources into the cities. Roman aqueducts were built over the period of about 500 years. Parts of the aqueducts remain in modern-day parts of France, Spain, Greece, North Africa, and Turkey. 11 aqueducts were built to bring water to Rome from 92 km away. Despite how old they are some of the aqueducts are still in use and they provide modern-day Rome with water.
