I made a pact with time to have a long life.
It was once said that it was a miracle that the aqueduct remained standing. This imposing building is one of the many witnesses that the Roman Empire left in the city of Merida. It may date from the Julio-Claudian or Flavian period, although its construction is dated around the 1st century. It served to supply water to the city of Augusta Emerita at its entrance from the west, coexisting with three other aqueducts that supplied water to the population in different places.
This impressive work overcame the obstacles of the terrain, sometimes buried and sometimes, as at this point, raising the water channel above the ground, for which an imposing granite and brick arcade was built.
