Acueducto de Pinula, Colonial aqueduct in Guatemala City, Guatemala.
The Pinula Aqueduct extends through zones 10, 13, and 14 of Guatemala City, featuring brick arches that transported water from the Pinula River.
Construction of the aqueduct began in 1774 under architect Jose Bernardo Ramirez, providing water to Guatemala City for more than 150 years until 1938.
The structure became a meeting point for significant social events, including an 1850s confrontation between President Rafael Carrera and Marshal Serapio Cruz.
Visitors can observe the remaining sections of the aqueduct along 20 Calle and Boulevard Liberacion, which showcase the colonial engineering techniques.
The aqueduct's design incorporated specific architectural elements to increase water pressure and velocity through its brick structure to reach its final destination.
