Agua romana para la Tiro de los fenicios

Tyre was the most important of the Phoenician cities, founded at the same time as Sidon, Byblos, and Berytus (modern-day Beirut) in the 3rd millennium BC. It had two distinct areas: an island and a mainland portion. The city was initially separated from the mainland by a strait 500 to 700 meters wide, later joined to the mainland by an artificial isthmus built by Alexander the Great when he besieged the city in 332 BC. The island boasted two ports: the Sidonian port to the north and the Egyptian port to the south. During Roman rule, Tyre reached its zenith, acquiring impressive public buildings such as the Hippodrome. It also benefited from a significant water supply, provided by an aqueduct originating from the so-called Springs of Solomon, located about 6 km from the city. The system's final section included a complex network of numerous settling tanks that purified the water. One of the main destinations was the port's water supply, extremely important at that time and for this city, which was the maritime trade capital of the East.
