Acquedotto Romano
The Olbia aqueduct was built by the Romans between the 1st and 2nd centuries. d. C., to collect water from the springs of Mount Cabu Abas. Next to the aqueduct, a large settling tank was built completely dug out of the stone and provided with six holes for ventilation. On the sides of the cistern there are two other smaller tanks and a well for water inlet and outlet. On the arches you can still see the water transport channels. It is the best preserved archaeological site from the Roman age in Sardinia.
