Aquaduct of Albarracín-Gea-Cella

The aqueduct stretches for 25 kilometers between Albarracín and Cella, incorporating underground galleries, ventilation shafts, and open-air channels along its path.

Built during the first century AD, this hydraulic infrastructure transported water from the Guadalaviar River to supply the Roman settlement in present-day Cella.

The Center of Interpretation in Gea de Albarracín presents exhibits about Roman engineering techniques and water management systems used in ancient Hispania.

Eight sections of the aqueduct remain accessible to visitors, featuring information panels that explain the construction methods and technical specifications.

Roman engineers excavated 50,000 cubic meters of rock to create nine kilometers of galleries, maintaining a precise gradient of three per thousand.
