VALENS AQUEDUCT






The Valens Aqueduct (Turkish: Bozdoğan Kemeri, meaning "Aqueduct of the Grey Falcon") is a Roman aqueduct.

It was the major water-providing system of the Eastern Roman capital of Constantinople (modern Istanbul, Turkey). 

Completed by Roman Emperor Valens in the late 4th century AD, it was maintained and used by the Byzantines and later the Ottomans.

It remains one of the most important landmarks of the city.
