AÏN ZEBOUDJA AQUEDUCT
A 12 km-long aqueduct in Algiers, built between 1619 and 1639, revealing important remains.
Important remains of one of the four great aqueducts that fed the fountains of Algiers have been discovered. Built between 1619 and 1639, the 12 km-long Aïn Zeboudja aqueduct harnessed water from the Dely Brahim and Ben Aknoun springs and carried it to the Casbah to supply the Citadel and fourteen fountains in the old town. These remains are the last traces of the hydraulic system from the time of the Regency of Algiers. The Télémly, Hamma and Bir-Traria aqueducts were the three other aqueducts supplying the rest of the city.
