		Kavala photos of Kavala, Greece 12 of 29 View northwards from Kavala's kastro: Kamares aqueduct, built 1556 by Suleiman the Magnificent. In 1555 Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent (1494-1566) ordered an aqueduct to be built to the west of Panagia, apparently to replace an earlier aqueduct which had been ruined during the 14th century. Fed by a nearby spring, the new aqueduct was based on a Roman-style design and became known as the Kamares (the Arches). It also served as a defensive wall. A walkway on top allowed guards to keep an on things across and beyond the city. photo: © David John photos and text: © David John < page 1: introduction to Kavala Copyright © 2003-2012 My Favourite Planet  |  contributors  |  impressum  |  index of contents  |  sitemap
