aqueduct, historic ruins
The aqueduct of Patara was built during the reign of Claudius and renovated / partly rebuilt under Vespasian after an earthquake. It transported water from sources near the village of Islamlar at 680 m a.s.l. over a distance of 22,5 km to Patara at 50 m a.s.l. The aqueduct comprises five bridges as well as a stretch of pressurized conduit, an inverted siphon locally known as Delikkemer.
There seem to be at least two stages in the development of the aqueduct, which seems to show an original, ancient construction, which was then updated and adapted by the Roman empire.
