The aqueduct of Olbia was built by the Romans between the 1st and 2nd centuries AD. C., to collect water from the springs of Mount Cabu Abas. Next to the aqueduct, a large settling tank was built, carved completely into the stone and equipped with six holes for ventilation. On the sides of the cistern there are two other smaller tanks and a water inlet and outlet well. On the arches you can still see the water transport channels.
