Guess who has been studying Rome in their social studies class and was quite interested in seeing a 2000 year old aqueduct? That's right, Lydia. Turns out the Romans set up a fort on a rocky promontory (good for defense) but needed a water supply. Solution? Of course! Build a 9-mile aqueduct, keeps the centurions from getting too bored as well. Pictured above are both the aqueduct and the current Alcázar (castle) which sits atop the site of the old Roman fort. This one is only about 150 years old, since the last castle burned down in the 1860's.
