Clavdia
So cool to see how water came into city back in the day.
Located just to the north of the Circo Maxximo along Via di San Gregoerio, this is one of the remaining arches of the aqueduct that was constructed under Emperor Caligula and Emperor Claudius and was completed in 52 AD. It brought water over 40 miles from the mountains and helped to provide to all 14 districts of Rome.
It's in decent shape today and easily visible along the roadway. The scale of something like this that is over 2000 years old and still standing today is impressive. That said, I'd not go out of the way. A Hop On / Hop Off bus stop is here and the bus spends enough time to jump out, walk through the arch itself and get back on for the next stop.

Great example of Roman history 👍
I was looking for an aqueduct and this one was really close to the Roman Forum! It’s really neat how the Romans used these to pump water into their city centres. You can spot it by walking inside Palatine hill.
Roman aqueduct reaching great height to deliver water to Palatine hill.
Excellent source of water
