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.
