Acueducto de los Remedios, Colonial aqueduct monument in Naucalpan de Juárez, Mexico.
The stone structure extends 500 meters with 50 semi-circular arches reaching heights of 16 meters above the surrounding landscape.
Construction began in 1616 under Viceroy Diego Fernández de Córdoba to transport water from San Francisco Chimalpa to Los Remedios sanctuary.
Local residents refer to the two circular towers as 'Los Caracoles', which were designed to regulate water pressure in the distribution system.
The structure now serves as a pedestrian bridge connecting different neighborhoods while offering views of the forested areas of Naucalpan.
Despite its grand engineering design and extensive construction efforts, the aqueduct never successfully transported water to its intended destination.
