Description
This beautiful 18th century aqueduct consisting of a series of arches gave the area its name. It was built in 1746 by the Turkish governor of Larnaca, Bekir Pasha, who funded it out of his own sources to carry water to Larnaca from a source about 10 km away. The aqueduct was abandoned in 1939, its function replaced by modern pipes.
