Byzantine Aqueduct of Feres

Just before the entrance to Feres, the sight of the Byzantine aqueduct retains the awe that it has evoked since it was built in the mid-12th century. The work of the Emperor of the Byzantine Empire, Isaac Komnenos, like the Monastery of Kosmosotira in Feres, it was created to transport water to the settlement that existed around the monastery. The spring 'Megali Vrisi' ('Koca Cesmesmes'), from which the Byzantine inhabitants used to bring water to the settlement, is located a short distance away and still maintains its momentum today.

This exceptional architectural example of the period, with its two imposing arches of hewn stone, which are five metres high and have openings of seven metres, was built of flint and bricks in the horizontal joints. It is an extraordinary sight, especially at night, when the lighting highlights its dimensions and grandeur.
