The “Arches” (Kamares) are the “trademark” and the best known landmark and most impressive monument of Kavala. It is the last part of the old city aqueduct supplying the water for the Panagia peninsula and was originally built by the Romans, while its current form dates back to the 16th century. It is built as a series of columns and arches in rows, with a total length of 270 m and a height of 26 m, connecting springs in the valley in the hills and the Panagia peninsula. The first row, which is wider, has eleven arches with a span of 5.60 m and a height of 12 m, followed by the upper levels with smaller arches finishing at the top where the water pipe rests. Under the arches pass the two main entrance-exit roads of the city.
