Acueducto de los Pilares, Renaissance aqueduct in Oviedo, Spain
The stone aqueduct spans across Calle Cervantes with five remaining arches that demonstrate the precision of Renaissance engineering techniques.
Built between 1570 and 1599 under Juan de Cerecedo's direction, the aqueduct originally extended 390 meters with forty-one arches reaching 10 meters high.
The structure received recognition as a Cultural Heritage Site, representing the architectural development of water supply systems in northern Spain.
Located near Campo de San Francisco gardens and the Historical Archive of Asturias, the aqueduct stands at Calle Roberto S. Velázquez.
The construction cost 15,500 ducats, funded through taxes on local cider and wine production in 16th century Oviedo.
