Reservatório da Mãe d'Água das Amoreiras, Water reservoir and museum in Campo de Ourique, Portugal.
The Reservatório da Mãe d'Água das Amoreiras contains a water tank with a depth of 7.5 meters and displays engineering techniques from the 18th century.
Hungarian architect Carlos Mardel designed this reservoir in 1746 to collect water from the Águas Livres Aqueduct, with construction completed in 1834.
The Register House on the western side of the reservoir monitored water distribution to fountains, factories, convents, and residential buildings in Lisbon.
EPAL operates this facility, which opens Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 to 12:30 and 13:30 to 17:30, offering visitors access to exhibits about water systems.
The reservoir combines a functional water distribution structure with neoclassical architecture elements, including grand arches and an elevated foundation.
