Acquedotto Romano

Admire Roman ingenuity by visiting the ancient aqueduct, built between the first and second centuries AD.C. An extraordinary work that served to supply the ancient Olbia with water. Next to the aqueduct, a large settling tank was built, carved completely into the stone and equipped with six holes for ventilation. On the sides of the cistern there are two other smaller tanks and a water inlet and outlet well. On the arches you can still see the water transport channels. It is the best preserved archaeological site of the Roman age in Sardinia.

A fascinating place linked to the cult of water, dating back to the Nuragic age. The architecture of the well testifies to the deep spirituality and advanced engineering of the ancient Sardinian people.
