The aqueduct was built between the end of the 3rd century and the beginning of the 4th century CE. The water was taken from the Jadro River – 9 km northeast of Split. The difference in height from which the water was transported was 13 meters. The decrease, in turn, is equal to 3% along the length of the entire aqueduct. Video from the trip below.
