Archaeologists have discovered an ancient Roman bridge in Zaragoza.

Archaeologists have discovered the remains of a Roman bridge under the streets of Zaragoza in Spain, which is believed to have been part of the water supply system of the ancient city of Cesaraugusta. This was reported by Arkeonews magazine on March 16.

The discovery was made during construction work on San Miguel Square. Researchers date the building to the 1st century AD, the period of the founding of the Roman colony. Experts believe that the discovered structure served as a siphon or aqueduct, which allowed water to be transported from the Huerva River to the upper part of the city.

"This discovery is extremely important for the historical record. This is the first structure of its type discovered in Zaragoza, and it provides valuable information about how the Roman city managed water supply and urban planning," said Jose Juan Domingo, head of the Zaragoza Municipal Archaeological Service.Experts note that the discovery of this hydraulic structure is crucial for understanding the engineering infrastructure of the region. Previously, scientists have not been able to determine exactly how water entered the highest point of the ancient settlement, and the found bridge can fill this gap in the history of urban planning.
