Aqueduct, Cyprus     2004-06-19


Kamares area on the Larnaka - Lemesos road. A beautiful 18th century aqueduct which was built in 1745 in the Roman style to carry water from a source about 6 miles south of Larnaca into the town to provide Larnaca with water. It surfaces in a gully along the highway to Limassol and was still in use until 1930 supplying water to the city of Larnaka. There are more than 20 arches still intact, remnants of others can be found to the south of the town 14:00 GMT 19 September 2004
