Aqueduc des arcades, Medieval aqueduct in Perpignan, France
The Aqueduc des Arcades extends over 300 meters in length, reaching 13 meters in height with 21 arches constructed from traditional regional materials.
Between 1368 and 1378, the structure evolved from wooden construction to masonry, marking a significant advancement in medieval engineering and water management.
The aqueduct represents the architectural influence of the Kings of Majorca during their residence at Perpignan Castle in the medieval period.
Located at coordinates 42.675278, 2.886667, the monument remains accessible via the Avenue d'Espagne and connects to local bicycle paths.
The tenth arch features a distinct lowered design to accommodate an 18th-century path, later replaced by railway infrastructure.
