Roman Aqueduct of Nicopolis – Preveza The Roman Aqueduct of Nicopolis is one of the most important and impressive engineering works of antiquity in Epirus. It was built by the Romans after the founding of ancient Nicopolis by Octavian Augustus, following his victory at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC. The purpose of the project was to transport water from the springs of Agios Georgios to the city of Nicopolis, covering the needs of thousands of residents. The aqueduct extended over a long distance and is considered an excellent example of Roman engineering and architecture. In several places, the characteristic stone arches, the pipes and parts of the construction are still preserved, demonstrating the know-how and organization of the Romans of that time. The route of the aqueduct passed through difficult areas, hills and plains, which makes the project even more impressive for the time. Today, the Roman Aqueduct is an important historical and archaeological monument of Preveza and attracts visitors interested in learning about the history, culture and technology of ancient Nicopolis. The combination of history, architecture and natural landscape makes the monument a unique point of interest in the region, offering visitors a unique experience of getting to know the Roman past of Epirus.
