The aqueduct of the large Ancient Roman city of Nicopolis ad Istrum in today’s Central North Bulgaria had an “exceptional" bridge, which was 3 kilometers (appr. 2 miles) long and 20 meters (65 feet) tall, explains archaeologist Ivan Tsarov who has presented his detailed new book on the Roman aqueducts in Bulgaria.
Tsarov, who is the Director of the Regional Museum of History in the city of Veliko Tarnovo (the capital of the Second Bulgarian Empire in the 12th-14th century), is a long-time researcher of Nicopolis ad Istrum, its complex water supply system, and the aqueducts of numerous other Roman cities located on the territory of today’s Bulgaria.
