Istanbul - Valens Aqueduct

Valens Aqueduct - major water system when it was dated back to Constantinople completed late 4th century AD.

 

Althought this Aqueduct was built for Roman Citizens in Byzantine era, it was restored and rebuilt through Ottoman Empire and was in working condition until 1950s.

All that is left right now is just few hundred meters long in the City center.
