Aqueduct of Los Arcos, 16th-century aqueduct and viaduct in Teruel, Spain
The Los Arcos Aqueduct spans 100 meters with two levels of arches reaching heights of 35 meters through the center of Teruel.
French engineer Quinto Pierres Vedel directed the construction of this Renaissance structure between 1537 and 1558 to transport water from distant springs.
The structure represents a fusion of engineering methods from the Renaissance period while connecting the medieval and modern sections of Teruel.
The lower level functions as a pedestrian passage while underground parking facilities are available at nearby supermarkets for a minimum purchase of 5 euros.
The structure earned the name 'French Aqueduct' due to its designer's origin and maintains its role as a functional footbridge despite no longer carrying water.
