Aqueducts!

In traveling from place to place either by foot or by bus, our group has gotten to experience and enjoy the Roman Aqueducts placed around Italy. A true innovation of its time (and not surpassed for thousand of years), an aqueducts purpose is to get large amounts of water from one place to another over long distances. We had a chance to see a huge one stretching over a valley at Spoleto and saw several through the rolling plains on our way to the beach. The Roman aqueducts stretched from Germany to Africa and had a total of at least 260 miles. It is amazing to see such a site still standing today.
