The Sour El Ghozlane Aqueduct is a hydraulic structure dating back to the Roman period, located 45 km south of Bouira, Algeria. It is situated 2 km from the center of Sour El Ghozlane, at a place known as “the arches.”
History
The aqueduct was part of the ancient city of Auzia. Originally, it consisted of seven large arches connecting the two banks of the Oued Hammam. Six of these arches were destroyed during the colonial era, leaving only one arch standing today.
Description
The structure spanned a small valley. The remaining arch is the last vestige of this Roman hydraulic system that allowed for the transportation of water in the region.
