About this place
Aqua Alexandrina was a Roman aqueduct in Rome, built to carry water across the city to the Baths of Alexander on the Campus Martius. It stretched for 22.4 km and took its supply from Pantano Borghese. The aqueduct was in use from the 3rd to the 8th century AD, and today it makes for a short historical walk focused on Rome’s ancient water system.

- Following the line of this 22.4 km aqueduct, which once linked Pantano Borghese with the Baths of Alexander on the Campus Martius.
