The Cherchell aqueduct supplied water to Caesarea Mauretaniae, capital of Roman Mauretania, in modern Algeria. Built in the 1st century AD, likely during the reign of King Juba II, it ran at least 45 km from springs in the Oued el Hachem valley to the city, though an inscription records the length as 51 km. It is among the longest Roman aqueducts in North Africa and remains in a good state of preservation.
