Istanbul Bozdo\u011fan Aqueduct was built by Roman Empire in the late 4<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">th<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> century AD, to be able to meet the water need of the city. The construction started in the reign of Roman Emperor Constantius II, and was done in the reign of Emperor Bozdo\u011fan. That\u2019s why, the other name of the aqueduct is Bozdo\u011fan Aqueduct. The aqueduct had been used for centuries, including by both Byzantines and Ottomans. Every empire made some renovations and additions. The aqueduct was taking its water supply from the hills of Ka\u011f\u0131thane and the Sea of Marmara. The water which was taken was divided into the neighborhoods via pipelines and cement channels. It took so much water that hundreds of cisterns and three open reservoirs became full. It had been the major water resource in the city for more than 15 centuries. In the whole years of its life, many incidents such as earthquakes and attacks had faced, however, the aqueduct is still surviving. There are some parts today which are no longer existed. Surprisingly, an aqueduct has been surviving almost the first centuries of the milestone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_208\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-208\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-208 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Bozdogan-Aqueduct.jpg\" alt=\"Bozdo\u011fan Aqueduct\" width=\"1200\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Bozdogan-Aqueduct.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Bozdogan-Aqueduct-300x240.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Bozdogan-Aqueduct-1024x819.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Bozdogan-Aqueduct-768x614.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Bozdogan-Aqueduct-150x120.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Bozdogan-Aqueduct-696x557.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.teknevia.com\/blog\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2023\/04\/Bozdogan-Aqueduct-1068x854.jpg 1068w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-208\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bozdo\u011fan Aqueduct<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Do_You_Need_to_See_Bozdogan_Aqueduct\"><\/span><b>Why Do You Need to See Bozdo\u011fan Aqueduct?<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even if Bozdo\u011fan Aqueduct is not used anymore, that does not mean that it is not aesthetic.

You can find Sara\u00e7hane Archaeology Park, Fatih An\u0131t Park, and Sara\u00e7hane Park. These locations are the best when you want to take a rest, and enjoy the sunny weather in summer seasons and bird songs. Also, the second nearest place is Molla Zeyrek Mosque. This mosque was converted from church to mosque in the best way. The outside of the mosque was constructed according to Byzantine architectural patterns, the inside of it was converted into a mosque, and has Islamic aspects over the dome or walls. The mixture of two cultures, must be seen.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another place you need to see is Fatih Mosque. Contrary to Molla Zeyrek Mosque, this mosque was totally constructed according to Ottoman architectural patterns. That is a mosque complex, it has a hospice, a madrasah, a soup kitchen, a library, and a hammam. You need to see these three monuments to identify the different cultural signs.
