The Roman Aqueduct near Skopje

I went to Skopje to visit PCV friends Noell and Anya in November and we went to a cool historical site nearby. It is called the Roman Aqueduct. No one knows how old it is, some say it goes back to Roman times and it is believed to have been used in the 16th century by the Turks (perhaps to fill their baths?). It is possible that this one was built on the ruins of a Roman aqueduct, hence the name. Unfortunately there is little being done to protect it, although a small portion has been renovated.
