Skopje Aqueduct
The Skopje Aqueduct () is an aqueduct and archaeological site located in the neighbourhood of Vizbegovo  northwest of central Skopje, North Macedonia. The Skopje Aqueduct is the only aqueduct in Macedonia, and one of three largest and well preserved in the former Yugoslavia along with Diocletianus Aqueduct near Split, Croatia and Bar Aqueduct in Montenegro. History
The question of when the Skopje Aqueduct was built is unclear. There are three theories:
during the reign of Rome (1st century); according to this theory the aqueduct fed water to Legionary settlement Scupi. during the reign of Byzantine Empire (reign of Emperor Justinian I); according to this theory, the aqueduct shipped water to the new settlement Justiniana Prima. during the reign of Ottoman Empire; according to this theory the aqueduct was built in the 16th century for the many Turkish public hamams. This aqueduct was in use until the eighteenth century. Only about  with 55 arches of this structure of stone and brick remain. It is assumed that the aqueduct took water from the spring Lavovec (village Gluvo in mountain Skopska Crna Gora),  northwest from Skopje and brought water to city center. The first phase of restoration work on the Skopje Aqueduct began in September 2021 and completed in early 2023, with the second phase beginning afterward. See also
