Skopje Aqueduct

The Skopje Aqueduct is a significant archaeological site located in the vicinity of Skopje, North Macedonia. Constructed with stone and brick, it spans approximately 386 meters and includes 55 arches, showcasing impressive engineering techniques of its time. The aqueduct's exact date of construction is debated, but it served as a vital water management structure, likely transporting water from Lavovec spring to the city center of Skopje. As the only aqueduct in North Macedonia and one of the largest in the former Yugoslavia, it holds substantial historical importance. Restoration efforts began in the 21st century to preserve its structure and historical value. The aqueduct ceased operation in the 18th century, marking the end of its functional period.
