The aquaducts were gigantic structures, very advanced for their time, whose objective was to transport water to cities and industrial places of the empire. Some of the most important were:

Aqua Appia

Aqua Vetus

Aqua Marcia

Aqua Tepula

Aqua Iulia

The longest aqueduct was the Aqua Marcia, built in ancient Rome in 144 BC. It had a length of 91 km, and this structure, together with the other aquaducts, supplied Rome with 140,000 cubic meters of water per day, mainly potable. This was one of the first steps in achieving water access over long distances.

The aqueducts of Rome are notable examples of Roman engineering and urban planning, and played a crucial role in the functioning of the city and improving the quality of life of its inhabitants. Many of the arches and structures of the Roman aqueducts are still preserved today and are considered historical monuments. One of the most famous is the Segovia Aqueduct in Spain, which is still standing after more than 2,000 years.
