Acueducto de San Telmo, 18th-century aqueduct in Ciudad Jardín district, Málaga, Spain.
The San Telmo Aqueduct extends for 10.8 kilometers through Málaga, featuring 33 bridges and 30 water channels built with neoclassical architectural elements.
Commissioned by Bishop José de Molina Lario y Navarro and approved by King Carlos III, the aqueduct began operations in September 1784 to supply water to the growing city.
The structure represents a significant example of Spanish hydraulic engineering, recognized as a Cultural Asset of Interest and Historical Site in 2009.
The aqueduct system includes covered channels for drinking water distribution and open channels for irrigation, supporting both urban and agricultural needs.
Throughout its path, the aqueduct incorporates various architectural solutions to overcome terrain challenges, including the Main Ark at the intersection of Refino Street.

Between the Mediterranean and the Andalusian hills, Malaga blends southern warmth with a thousand-year history. Birthplace of Picasso, it combines Moorish fortresses, Renaissance churches, orange-scented alleys, and avant-garde museums. The Alcazaba overlooks the city from its Moorish walls, the Roman theater recalls its origins, and the Cathedral of the Incarnation connects the centuries. Along the port, the Pompidou Center, contemporary galleries, and subtropical gardens revitalize Andalusian modernity. The stroll is slow, between white light and warm shadows, from the Atarazanas market to the views of Gibralfaro. Malaga is no longer just a seaside stopover: it is a city to explore, to see, and to feel.
