An excavation at Rusovce Manor House in Bratislava has revealed a Roman aqueduct, the first of its kind discovered in Slovakia. Built in 1840 in Neo-Gothic style, the manor is undergoing significant reconstruction set to be completed by 2029. The renovations, costing 110 million euros, aim to restore its interior and grounds, which are inspired by English architecture and gardens. The aqueduct, almost 100 feet long, enhances the historical context of the site, which was part of the Roman military frontier known as the Danubian Limes. Archaeologists from TRUNI have been pivotal in uncovering this important find.
