What looks like a castle / gate is called The Valens Aqueduct or Waterway or clean water channel. .
In the past there was already a PDAM, flowing water from the mountain spring to the city.
.
The structure of the building is made with filtering system so clean water up to the mosque mosque and garden city park.
.
At the time of Muhammad Al Fatih (1453) this aqueduct was restored to flow water to Eski Sarayi and Topkapi. .
.
Because of the Earthquake there was a rift that made water leak, and this building was made stronger by Mimar Sinan during the Caliph Sulaiman Al Qanuny (1530).
.
With double arch technique (curved terraced) this building is sturdy until now. .
.
A technology that darted out of its era.
.
Now that PDAMs are often dead, we may need to learn about the water distribution technology of the day.
