Drought And Maglova Aqueduct, Turkey. The Maglova Aqueduct Built By Mimar Sinan Is 260 M Long And 36 M High, Decked With Two-Storeyed Arches. It Also Functioned As A Pedestrian Bridge, Thanks To A Passage Running Through The Piers Of The Arches. Sinan Managed To Blend The Bearing And Functional Elements Into A Work Of Art. The First Aqueduct Was Destroyed By Violent Floods (1563) So Sinan Obviously Went To Greater Lenghts In His Second Attempt. Built : 1554-1562 Location : Near Istanbul, Istanbul, Turkey Crosses : Alibey River Structural Type : Arch Bridge Designer : Mimar Koca Sinan Ibn Abd Al-Mannan
