Aqueduct built in 144 BC and partially used until recently because it was reused by the Felice aqueduct.
Acquedotto Felice
The underground part of this aqueduct still works, and you can see the water leaking from the canal.
Acquedotto Claudio
Its arches, high in some stretches even 30 meters, make it define a true "Water Giant".
