EDITORS COMMENTS
The Aqueduct of Valens, also known as the Bozdoğan Kemeri in Turkish, is an impressive architectural feat of ancient Rome, located in the outskirts of Istanbul, Turkey. Built by Emperor Valens around 375 AD, this aqueduct was designed to tap water from the Belgrade Forest and other nearby streams outside the city, supplying the growing population of Constantinople with fresh water. With an original length of 1000 metres, of which 625 metres remain standing, the Aqueduct of Valens is a testament to the advanced engineering capabilities of the Roman Empire. The aqueduct's construction was a significant achievement during Valens' reign, as the city was expanding and the need for a reliable water supply was becoming increasingly important. The aqueduct's arches, some of which still stand tall today, were built with precision and skill, allowing water to flow smoothly through the system. Throughout history, the Aqueduct of Valens played a crucial role in the management and supply of water to the city. During the Byzantine period, it was expanded and maintained, ensuring the continuity of water supply to Constantinople. Later, during the Ottoman era, the aqueduct was repurposed to supply water to the Topkapi Palace and other important buildings in the city. Despite the passage of time, the Aqueduct of Valens remains a fascinating historical site, attracting visitors from around the world. Its intricate design and impressive scale serve as a reminder of the ingenuity and engineering prowess of ancient Rome. The ruins of this magnificent structure continue to stand tall, telling the story of the city's rich history and the empires that shaped it.
