"Roman Aqueduct (al-Bass Site)" Top 5 Page for this destination Tyre Things to Do Tip by MM212

The Roman Aqueduct of Tyre transported water from its sources further inland all the way to the peninsula, and ran parallel to the Decumanus Maximus. A good section of the Aqueduct has survived in al-Bass Archaeological Area 3, near the Monumental Arch. Although this section is mostly a ruin, it is said that as late as the 19th century, much of the Aqueduct had survived intact. Like the surrounding structures, the Aqueduct is thought to have been built around the 2nd century AD.
