The aqueduct in Benitses
The aqueduct in Benitses
The aqueduct of Benitses is the most important water supply work in Corfu. It was constructed during the English rule and the term of office of Commissioner Frederick Adam, who provided solution in several infrastructure issues.
The Commissioner proposed to the Senate the construction of abstraction works for the two large springs of Karteri and Agiou Nikolaou, in the basin above Benitses and of a 6.5 miles long aquedect, along with all related technical works (carved and built pipes, bridges, buttressing walls etc.) Despite the high cpst, the work was unanimously approved in 1830 and rapidly constructed: only 10 months after the initiation, in 1831, the valuable good gushed from the first fountain in the central square of Corfu.
The aquaduct in Benitses can be visited easily during the crossing of the 5th day of Corfu Trail.
