The Aqueduct of Valens
2024 Mar 03
This was always near the top of my ‘Want to go’ list when in Istanbul and it did not disappoint. A wonderful monument to the engineering prowess of the Roman Empire.
You’ll see lots of marble columns and their left over capitals lying around in local parks and even kids’ playgrounds.
If you are interested in ancient history and especially the engineering side of it then add it to your list.
It’s all free and access is all around the base. No interior access.
Lower arches have some cool looking tea shops I’d recommend to stop and take in the grandeur.
Short walk from the T1 Tram station (less than 15 minutes)
A VERY local market just through the central walking arch. Please be respectful when you’re taking pictures here.
