It connects the town of Amoreira to the city of Elvas. With a length of 8.5 kilometres, 843 arches with more than five arcades and towers that rise to 31 metres in height, it is considered the largest aqueduct in the Iberian Peninsula.

It has been classified as a National Monument since 1910 and is part of the site called the Border and Garrison Town of Elvas and its Fortifications, classified by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site since 2012.

Segovia is not the only city on the peninsula to have a Roman aqueduct.
The Amoreia aqueduct is located in the parish of São Brás e São Lourenço, within the municipality of Elvas, district of Portalegre, in Portugal.
It was declared a World Heritage Site in 2012.

The Amoreira aqueduct is part of the "Border garrison and fortifications of the city of Elvas" complex.

Picturesque and emblematic aqueduct of the city, built in the 15th century to supply water to the town. It is worth stopping and visiting it since it is located at the exit of the city, in its western part.
