Kavala Aqueduct is definetelly the most characteristic monument of Kavala and it is known also by the name “Kamares” (Arches). While the original aqueduct is of Roman origin, the present structure is attributed to Ibrahim Pasha (the vezir of Sultan Suleiman)and it was built in 1520-1530, a period during which many infrastructure works were carried out in Kavala. The lenght of the aquaduct is 270 m and its maximum height is 25 m. This old aqueduct supplied water to the town of Kavala until the early decades of the 20th century. The aquaduct is no longer of vital importance, but it maintain its beauty and is a landmark of the town. Bottom line: don't miss this beautiful spot, although it's not easy to find parking beside.

The Aqueduct of Kavala is a medieval Ottoman aqueduct. One of the main attractions of the city. Monument. The existing structure is from the 16th century, but it is assumed that the aqueduct in a smaller version existed as early as the time of the Roman Empire. By the time of the Byzantine Empire, the aqueduct began to be used as a defensive wall. There are hypotheses that even in the time of Byzantium, the aqueduct was used for its intended purpose, but this is unlikely. Byzantine cities used wells and cisterns. During the reign of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, the aqueduct was again used as a source of water for the city. Until 1911, the aqueduct was used to supply drinking water from the nearby Pangayon mountain.

The Aqueduct of Kavala, popularly known as the Kamares, is a well-preserved aqueduct and is one of the city's landmarks. It supplied the city with drinking water from Mount Pangaeus While the aqueduct is of Roman origin, the present structure built by the Ottomans in the 16th century.A Byzantine barrier wall of the early 14th century, built as part of the fortifications on the Acropolis of Kavala, probably also functioned as an aqueduct. The barrier wall was replaced with the present arched aqueduct during Suleiman the Magnificent's repair and improvement of the Byzantine fortifications. Some authors date that construction to the time of the 1522 Siege of Rhodes, but a more likely date is between 1530 and 1536.

Το γνωστότερο μνημείο της σύγχρονης Καβάλας είναι οι “Καμάρες”, το παλιό υδραγωγείο της πόλης. Το μνημείο δεσπόζει στο άκρο της παλιάς πόλης και εντυπωσιάζει με τον όγκο του αλλά και την αρχιτεκτονική του. Το θέμα μας λοιπόν είναι οι Καμάρες, δηλαδή το υδραγωγείο της πόλης και η υδροδότηση της. Θα κάνουμε μια προσπάθεια να ακολουθήσουμε τον λεγόμενο «δρόμο του νερού» από την πηγή του μέχρι το επιβλητικό μνημείο των Καμαρών που κοσμεί και τη σύγχρονη πόλη.

Το υδραγωγείο ήταν έργο ζωτικής σημασίας για την Καβάλα, γιατί με αυτό υδροδοτήθηκε η χερσόνησος της Παναγίας που μέχρι τον 16 αιώνα ήταν άνυδρη. Έτσι ο ασήμαντος οικισμός μετατράπηκε σε μικρή πόλη της περιοχής. Ο Pierre Belon αναφέρει στα 1547 ότι η Καβάλα ήταν στο παρελθόν έρημη και ακατοίκητη, αλλά λίγα χρόνια μετά την κατασκευή του Υδραγωγείου έγινε ένας «όμορφος και πολυάνθρωπος οικισμός».

kamares01Παρόμοιο υδραγωγείο της οθωμανικής περιόδου, τόσο επιβλητικό και τόσο ισχυρής κατασκευής, δεν έχει εντοπιστεί αλλού.

Πιθανολογείται λοιπόν ότι στον ίδιο χώρο υπήρχε υδραγωγείο παλιότερης περιόδου (της ρωμαϊκής ή μεσοβυζαντινής ), πάνω στα απομεινάρια του οποίου χτίστηκαν οι Καμάρες.

Κατά τη Ρωμαϊκή εποχή οι μέθοδοι υδροδότησης των πόλεων εξελίχθηκαν σημαντικά. Οι Ρωμαίοι εκμεταλλευόμενοι το γερό θεωρητικό υπόβαθρο των Ελλήνων, κατασκεύασαν έργα δαπανηρά και με μνημειώδη χαρακτήρα για την κάλυψη των αναγκών σε νερό.

Η κατασκευή μεγάλων και επιβλητικών υδραγωγείων με τοξωτές υδροφόρες γέφυρες συνιστά αποκλειστικά ρωμαϊκή καινοτομία, που βασιζόταν σε συστηματικές μετρήσεις αποστάσεων, γωνιών και υψομέτρων, προϋπέθετε δε μία αυστηρά καθιερωμένη σειρά εργασιών. Υδραγωγεία αυτής της περιόδου συναντάμε σε όλη την Ευρώπη με πιο χαρακτηριστικά αυτά της Ρώμης, της Pont du Gard στην Γαλλία και της Segovia στην Ισπανία. Στον Ελλαδικό χώρο παρόμοια υδραγωγεία συναντάμε στην Μόρια της Μυτιλήνης, στην Νικόπολη και στην Αθήνα.

Το υδραγωγείο της Καβάλας, σύμφωνα με την επικρατέστερη άποψη και τις νεώτερες αρχαιολογικές ανακαλύψεις, είναι το ρωμαϊκό υδραγωγείο της αρχαίας Νεάπολης που κατασκευάστηκε πιθανότατα ανάμεσα στον 1ο και τον 6ο αιώνα μΧ. Κατά καιρούς δέχτηκε πολλές επισκευές και λειτούργησε μέχρι και τη μεσοβυζαντινή περίοδο. Από τα τέλη τού 14ου αιώνα το υδραγωγείο έπαυσε να λειτουργεί και να...
