What to expect
The Valens Aqueduct is a historic aqueduct system that supplied water to Constantinople, now Istanbul. The aqueduct is approximately 920 meters long and was built in the 4th century AD to bring water from Thrace to the city. It was constructed during the reign of Emperor Valens and was an essential part of the city's water supply system. The aqueduct features a series of arches that span the valley between two hills, and its remains can still be seen today. Visitors can explore the aqueduct and learn about its history and significance. The area around the aqueduct also offers other attractions, such as the Underground Cistern and the Vefa Boza Shop, where visitors can taste traditional boza drink
