Kamares Aqueduct

Tassos Mikropoulos has described it as the most prominent water supply built in Cyprus.

[2][3][4] The construction of the aqueduct commenced in 1747 and was completed in 1750, costing a total of 50,000 qirsh which was paid by Ebubekir Pasha.

[2] Foreign travellers have often counted it as one of the most important monument constructed during the Ottoman period in Cyprus.

In 1754, Alexander Drummond noted that: For the honour of Bekir Paşa I must communicate an instance of the old gentlemen’s public spirit.

While he was Paşa of this land, in the year 1747, he formed the noble design of bringing water from the river at Arpera, and occasional springs on the road about six miles from hence, to supply the people of Larnaca, Salines and the shipping.
