As the largest aqueduct in the city, the Aqua Marcia is visible from almost anywhere. Its towering arches stretch across the skyline, their colossal blocks fitting together with a masterful precision that has ensured its standing for decades. Crystal clear water is guided over the local hillsides from far up in the mountains, providing the city with the water it needs. For this vast system nourishes not just the one sector, but most of the aqueducts in the Urbs Roma, making it an essential feature of the city. Its presence is both a marvel and a lifeline as the water cascades through its channels with a soothing murmur that grows ever-deafening as one approaches the base of the structure. Ivy clings to its sides, almost as if in a deliberate attempt to soften its grandeur, but the impression the aqueduct makes is undeniable.
