The Roman aqueduct of Patras, located in the Municipality of Patras in Greece, is an archaeological site representing a major work of Roman engineering in ancient Greece. Extending 6.5 kilometers from the springs of Romanos to the city acropolis (now part of Patras Castle), the aqueduct supplied vital water to Roman-era Patras. The system primarily conveyed water through an underground channel, which crossed valleys and gorges by means of carefully constructed archways; remnants of these Roman-built arches survive to the present day. Portions of the aqueduct remain visible along Patras' bypass road and in the neighborhoods of Aroi and Asyrmatos, testament to the durability of Roman hydraulic infrastructure.
