Barcino aqueduct, Roman aqueduct in Gothic Quarter, Spain
The remains of the Barcino aqueduct include two reconstructed arches and several foundation pillars that demonstrate ancient Roman water engineering techniques.
Built in the first century CE, the aqueduct transported water from the Montcada hills to supply the Roman settlement of Barcino until the sixth century.
The aqueduct fragments integrate with medieval structures throughout the Gothic Quarter, illustrating the architectural evolution of Barcelona across different periods.
Visitors can examine the aqueduct remains at the entrance of Casa del Arcediano and inside the Catalonia Magdalenes Hotel lobby during daytime hours.
The excavations in 1957 revealed five original pillars at the city entrance, leading to the reconstruction of two arches based on archaeological evidence.
