Roman and Medieval Aqueducts of Patras

The Roman and Medieval Aqueducts of Patras (Greek: Ρωμαϊκό και Μεσαιωνικό Υδραγωγείο Πάτρας) is an archaeological site in the city of Patras, West Greece. The Roman aqueduct is a major work of the Roman period in Greece and a vital part in the water supply of Roman-era Patras. Today parts of the aqueduct are visible around the short Patras' bypass road and the neighborhoods of Aroi and Asyrmatos. The aqueduct measured 6.5 km (4.04 mi) from the springs of Romanos to the city acropolis, today part of Patras Castle. For the greater part of this distance, the water passed through an underground channel, passing over valleys and gorges on carefully constructed archways, parts of which still stand.
