Greece - Agios Georgios, Louros Aqueduct

Greece - Agios Georgios, Louros Aqueduct
Near the village of Agios Georgios lies the Roman aqueduct over the river Louros. The aqueduct was built by thousands of slaves after 31 BC on the orders of Octavian Augustus - a Roman statesman and military leader and the first Emperor of the Roman Empire - who founded the city of Nicopolis. (More recent research has assigned its construction to Hadrian’s rule, in the 2nd century AD).

The complete aqueduct carried potable water with the method of height difference from the springs of the river Louros to two cisterns in Nicopolis over a distance of fifty kilometers. It was consisted of a pipe, which was constructed in three ways: by carving a ditch, tunneling the area and constructing columns bridging the pipe over valleys.

In the second half of the 5th century the aqueduct stopped functioning. From 1978 till 1980 the arches near Agios Georgios were restorated. The aqueduct bridge over the Louros is one of the very few remaining in Greece today.

Wow...what a fine series of images, Jaap. More than that, I am sitting and just shaking my head in wonder. Steve and I went to France last April and we visited several places where this Roman aqueduct ran. The incredible distance and scope of these aqueducts is simply incredible. All the way over in Greece, the same thing as allllll the way over in France. Numbing to think about. Thank you for the wonderful show, I sure do enjoy every one.

Schön, dass sie noch gibt. Durch den Baumbewuchs wirken sie besonders dekorativ, aber der Verfall wird dadurch beschleunigt. Offenbar fehlt das Geld für die Konservierung.
