One of the most important engineering and architectural masterpieces of the ancient world is the aqueduct, a structure for transferring water from its source to human settlements.

The aqueduct in Plovdiv, known as the Roman aqueduct of Philippopolis, is a significant archaeological relic.

The aqueduct was built during the Roman rule over Philippopolis, which began around the 1st century AD, and was expanded and maintained during the following centuries.

Water sources: The main water source of the aqueduct of Philippopolis was probably the river Maritsa (now known as the Maritsa), which runs near the city and was a significant source of water for the region.

A remarkable example of Roman engineering, this historic structure was used to transport water over long distances to meet the needs of the ancient city of Philippopolis (now Plovdiv).
