The surviving arches of the Roman-period waterway that carried water from the Daphne springs to ancient Antakya.

Safety warning

Do not climb on the remains; watch out for traffic when parking by the road.

Its story

The waterway, accepted as having been built in the time of the Roman emperor Trajan, carried the abundant spring waters of Harbiye to the city. The remains of the arches can be followed in the valley between Antakya and Harbiye. The structure shows how advanced the water infrastructure that supplied the population of ancient Antakya was. It is suitable for a short break and photo stop.
