Aqueduct (Birgi)

Ödemiş / İzmir

Aqueduct (Birgi)

In Birgi, aqueducts were built all over the city in order to meet the water needs of the city and to provide water transportation during the principalities and Ottoman periods. Especially during the years when Birgi was the capital of the Aydın Sons principality, only 2 of the aqueducts located all over the city survived today and the other arches were destroyed by natural disasters and human intervention.

Aqueducts found in Birgi are generally artefacts built from collecting material.
