    Tips

    January 6, 2023

    Near Elvas is an enormous aqueduct, the Aqueduto da Amoreira. It took 100 years before the aqueduct was completed in 1622. The aqueduct has 4 floors and is 7 km long. The columns and 843 arches cross the valley, so to speak, and look quite spectacular. The Elvas Aqueduct still supplies water to the fountain in a large square.

      Amoreira Aqueduct

      Construction of the aqueduct began in 1498, based on a design by the architect Francisco de Arruda, who also worked on the construction of the Belém Tower in Lisbon. The work was continued by Afonso Álvares, Diogo Marques and Pero Vaz Pereira, who finally completed the work in 1622.

      The approx. 8 km long structure, the main part of which consists of four rows of arches placed one on top of the other and resting on buttresses, is one of the symbols of the city of Elvas. Extensive conservation and renovation work was carried out in the 19th century.
