About this Stone
This aqueduct stands as one of the most mysterious landmarks in the region, its exact origins still debated among historians. Most scholars link it to the Roman period around the 1st century, the Byzantine era under Emperor Justinian I (527–565 AD), or the Ottoman period in the 16th century, when it may have supplied water to public baths. The structure stretches approximately 390 meters and originally featured around 55 arches, making it one of the best preserved aqueducts in the region. What makes a visit here feel special is the sense of discovery—it sits slightly off the main routes, tucked away enough to feel like a genuine adventure. Stumbling upon such an ancient structure just outside the city, with its weathered stone arches still standing after centuries, offers a tangible connection to the layers of history that have shaped this corner of the Balkans.
