A very popular place) especially among the spectators of the Red Buds... It is known among tourists, a kind of must visit, very conveniently located in the city center, near the Sultan Ahmed mosques, the Grand Bazaar, there is a very pleasant square nearby, according to Turkish concepts, a park. It's nice to take a walk and look at the grandeur of a well-preserved ancient monument. The aqueduct stands above the current highway, so be careful when chasing cool photos.
This aqueduct is one of the architectural landmarks of Istanbul. Many parts of the aqueduct have been preserved in good condition, and parts of it can still be seen in various areas of the city. The aqueduct is distinguished by its majestic arches, which are a symbol of the engineering skills of the Roman era. This building impresses both with its historical significance and its architectural beauty.
It is located a little away from the rest of the sights of Istanbul, but I think you need to come here - see it once. The aqueduct is beautiful, but not the most picturesque place for a photo: the highway, a lot of cars, noisy. At the time of our visit, the sidewalk was also being made, so fences, yellow signs and other attributes of road repairs also added a modern atmosphere. But that didn't really stop you from admiring the beautiful structure.
The nicest place! The aqueduct is very well preserved , it is noteworthy that it is located not only above the roadway , but further you can see it a little better. the locals even managed to put chairs inside the arches and made a cafe there.
My place of power is in Istanbul!) I came to him, admired him, touched the ancient stones! I am in love with the aqueduct, its power, and its centuries-old history. Thanks to the glorious Junaid of Red Buds for this."
A big incomprehensible thing. Maybe if you walk next to her with a guide, it will be interesting. There is a backlight in the evening. There are good meat restaurants nearby.
I wish I knew more about the history of this aqueduct. As it is, the structure is monumental and impressive. I would not have gone to him on purpose, but since we lived nearby, we looked at it.
It is very beautiful and ingenious from the point of view of the structure. But there are no tourist sites nearby. You can only see it if you get to it specifically.
Despite the busy car traffic right under the aqueduct, it seems that time has stopped here. When you think about how much human effort was spent on the construction, you get a sense of pride in people. Touch the history by visiting this place.
The aqueduct itself is high and authentic. But it is very awkwardly located - neither to make a pretty photo, nor to feel the atmosphere of the ancient world that gave rise to it. It sticks out in the middle of a dusty avenue, there is no view either behind it or in front of it, there is a small square nearby, but this does not save. We went there because we were nearby, and I wouldn't go to the other side of town for him. In general, not Pont du Gard from the word at all.
I was passing by and came over to take a picture, it's still an ancient building, it's about one and a half thousand years old, even a little more. well preserved. If anyone is interested, I advise you to take a walk past)
Istanbul has conquered my heart, yes, It is noisy, crowded, there is also enough garbage. But beautiful weather, good mood - the key to a great trip! Lived near this place, great hotel and good location.
It looks like it was just built. Beautiful and majestic. It's a pity that you can't go upstairs. I highly recommend going to the local market, which is located right along the aqueduct, if you go north. Everything that is sold in the center of Istanbul will be 10 times cheaper there.
Aqueduct in the city center. We had an audio guide, but there was little information. We had a great walk, there are many other attractions nearby. It's worth a visit.
The aqueduct is perfectly visible from different points. The expressway through the aqueduct leads to the bridge and then to the other side of the Golden Horn. To the left of the aqueduct is Mehmed the Conqueror Park and a monument to him. If you walk through the arches of the aqueduct on the left, you will get to the local market, where only Turkish is spoken. Dried fruits, sweets, nuts, seasonings, rustic cheese and much more are sold here at a very reasonable price. Sellers don't bother. There is an opportunity to calmly choose and try.
The Valenta Aqueduct, located in the Fatih district, crosses Ataturk Boulevard. This is a huge structure that was thousands of years old during the Ottoman conquest. The Turks keep it in perfect condition. The most interesting thing is that the aqueduct is easily accessible via public transport, it looks fantastic and no money is charged for visiting it. There are a lot of shops, hotels and catering outlets around. There is a nice park nearby where you can relax. As a traveler, I definitely recommend the Aqueduct of Valens to visit.
The ancient artifact fits into the city amazingly. We lived next to the aqueduct, passed by every day and looked at it with admiration every time. Let it please the eyes of local residents and visitors of Istanbul for many more centuries.
It smells of history, impressive size, another way to see Rome in Istanbul. There are plenty of other attractions nearby. One drawback is minor - the best view opens from a small patch at a pedestrian crossing through a busy intersection.
The landmark, which is difficult to pass by, looks powerful and monolithic

The aqueduct of Valens is one of the most important parts of the water supply system, through which water was delivered to Constantinople from Thrace. It was built during the reign of Emperor Valens in about 368-375. It functioned fully for almost 1400 years, until the 18th century.
It is even difficult to imagine that hundreds of years ago people built such grandiose structures that will outlive modern ones and will last for centuries!!!
For connoisseurs of ancient architecture. We have been considering masonry techniques for a long time. It is very interesting for masons of the fifth grade and above. And for fans of spectacular selfies.
It is good that this ancient structure has been preserved. It's a pity that you can't climb the aqueduct itself, the view from there should be gorgeous. Perhaps next time you will need to bring your climbing equipment with you.
It's just an interesting place. And it's free:-)) his story is easy to find on the internet

When you realize that the structure is more than a thousand years old, it's incredible! Just touch the stone, walk through the arch, travel many hundreds of years into the past, imagine that life, those people. It's still the time of the Byzantine Empire. Istanbul is a place where history is on every corner. Stories of great empires!
