Acueducto de Guadalupe, Aqueduct in Mexico City, Mexico.

The Guadalupe Aqueduct extends for 10 kilometers, featuring 2,310 arches that carried water from the Tlalnepantla River to the Guadalupe Villa.

Construction began in 1743 under the Guadalupe City Council and finished in 1751 during the government of Viceroy Juan Francisco de Güemes y Horcasitas.

The aqueduct provided water to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, marking its connection to religious practices and local traditions.

Today, the structure functions as a recreational corridor where residents exercise, cycle, and rest during pilgrimages to the Basilica.

The insurgent José María Morelos drank water from the aqueduct's fountain in December 1815 before his execution in Ecatepec.
