Aqueduto romano de Conímbriga
Aqueduto romano de Conímbriga, Roman aqueduct in Condeixa-a-Velha e Condeixa-a-Nova, Portugal.
The aqueduct extends over three kilometers, with most of its structure running underground through a system of concrete and limestone mortar channels.
Built during the first century AD under Emperor Augustus, this water system supplied the Roman city of Conimbriga until its decline in the fifth century.
The engineering methods used in the aqueduct demonstrate Roman technological knowledge in hydraulics, featuring water collection tanks and distribution mechanisms.
Visitors can observe the remaining arch of the hydraulic system emerging from the fortress wall, along with the preserved water tower at Alcabideque.
The water source begins at a deep well covered by a vaulted tower that still stands seven meters tall at Alcabideque.
