Restoration of historical aqueduct complete
Restoration works at the historical Arif Bey aqueduct near the village of Afania have been completed. The aqueduct, originally 457 meters in length with 270 meters and 69 arches surviving to the present day, was built to channel water from a local stream to the Ornuta farm. The restoration involved general cleaning, removal of asbestos and vegetation, reconstruction of stone walls, and re-grouting to strengthen its structural integrity. The project was funded by the European Union and supported technically by the United Nations Development Programme.
