EDITORS COMMENTS
Basking in the golden glow of the setting sun, the ancient aqueduct of Kavala, Greece, stands as a testament to the rich history and cultural heritage of this beautiful city. Located on the Bay of Kavala, in the northern part of Greece and serving as the principal seaport of eastern Macedonia, Kavala is a place where the past and present seamlessly intertwine. The aqueduct, a marvel of engineering from the Roman and Byzantine eras, was once an essential source of water for the city. Its construction dates back to the 1st century AD, making it one of the oldest surviving structures in Kavala. The aqueduct's intricate design allowed water to be transported from distant sources, ensuring the city's inhabitants had access to a vital resource, even during times of drought. Kavala's history is as diverse as its architecture. The city was part of the Ottoman Empire from 1387 to 1912, leaving a lasting impact on its culture and traditions. It was liberated by the Greek Navy during the first Balkan war of 1913, marking the beginning of a new chapter in its history. The aqueduct, now a protected monument, stands proudly against the backdrop of the Bay of Kavala and the island of Thassos. Its enduring beauty and historical significance continue to draw visitors from around the world, making Kavala a must-see destination for anyone interested in exploring the wonders of Greece's past.
