Aqueduct 4

View to the southeast. On the right, the lower portion of the aqueduct is visible — the water flowed from right to left.

On the left side of the image, the structure protruding skyward is actually a "pressure tower" that was used to raise the water up to the level of the top of the acropolis of Aspendos.

For a detail of the "pressure tower" click here.

For brief a description of the significance of Aspendos click here.
