KAVALA AQUEDUCT
280 m long section of an Ottoman aqueduct with 60 arches, some 25 m high, in the center of Kavala.
Locally known as Kamares/Καμάρες ("the arches"), this aqueduct is Kavala's iconic monument: it measures 280 m in length and has 60 arches, some reaching 25 m in height. It was built by the Ottomans in the early 16th century, based on Roman and Byzantine structures. The structure was part of a 6 km-long system that carried water from Mount Pangaea (1,956 m above sea level) to the Panagia district. Restored by Mehemet Ali in 1818, it ceased to function during the brief Bulgarian occupation of 1912.
