Acueducto de Valdepuentes, Roman aqueduct in Córdoba, Spain.
The Valdepuentes Aqueduct stretches across 18.6 kilometers through the Sierra Morena mountains, featuring underground channels and 40 water control wells.
Built during Emperor Augustus's reign in the late 1st century BCE, this water system initially carried the name Aqua Augusta before becoming known as Aqua Vetus.
The aqueduct represented Roman engineering excellence, incorporating opus caementicium construction with opus signinum interior lining for effective water transport.
The structure transported between 20,000 and 35,000 cubic meters of water daily from Santa María de Trassierra springs to supply the Roman city of Corduba.
A preserved 2.5-meter section discovered during excavations in Arruzafilla now stands in a garden area near its original location.
