Venetian Aqueduct of Morosini

The Venetian Aqueduct of Morosini is a remarkable piece of 17th-century engineering, located between Archanes and Heraklion. Built during the Venetian rule of Crete, the aqueduct was designed to carry fresh spring water from the Archanes area all the way to the city of Heraklion, supplying the famous Morosini Fountain (the Lions Fountain) in the city center.\n\rThis elegant stone structure stretches through olive groves and Cretan countryside, with arched sections still standing proudly today. It’s part of an ancient water network that demonstrates the advanced hydraulic knowledge of the Venetians\n\r.Ideal for history lovers and hikers, the aqueduct path invites you to walk through time and landscape, with nature and heritage beautifully intertwined.
