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.
