Albarracín: Rome’s great underground aqueduct

[guy]

Here is an interesting short video on the Albarracín Aqueduct in Spain. First the background information:

 

The Albarracín–Cella aqueduct was basically one of the boldest underground water projects the Romans ever built in Spain. It ran for 25 km (about 15.5 miles), and almost the whole thing—98% of it—was hidden below ground. The system included a 5 km (3.1‑mile) tunnel and roughly 140 vertical shafts, all dug in the 1st century BCE to move water from one river basin to another and bring it to the small settlement at Cella. It probably wasn’t meant for a big city’s drinking supply but more for industrial and farming work, like fulling, metalworking, or mills.
