Istanbul's source of life

Mağlova Aqueduct. The Byzantine water supply system of Constantinople was developed in the mid-4th century. The system's scale and complexity is a testament to Byzantine engineering and its ability to manage water resources effectively.

Even after the Ottoman conquest, the system was maintained and expanded, with the Aqueduct of Valens receiving particular attention.
