Acueducto de San Lázaro, Roman aqueduct in Mérida, Spain.
The Acueducto de San Lázaro extends across the landscape with a series of stone arches supporting the water channel above ground level.
Built during the Roman period, this aqueduct formed part of the water supply system that served the ancient city of Emerita Augusta in the first century.
The structure represents a primary example of Roman engineering in the Iberian Peninsula, demonstrating the technical knowledge of ancient water management systems.
Visitors can observe the aqueduct from multiple viewing points along the surrounding paths, with informational panels explaining its construction and purpose.
The aqueduct's granite blocks remain in their original position without mortar, held together by precise weight distribution and architectural balance.
