This aqueduct, which has a length of 8 km, provided water to several important districts of Olba and its urban centre.
The aqueduct is made up of a masonry road attached to a rocky cliff, with small arches to overcome ravines or rocky outcrops. Although it originally had four arches, today only one complete arch and the base of another remain.
It is a popular place for hiking, offering routes that allow you to explore both the aqueduct and the surrounding landscapes.
