    It was commissioned by the Melo family to draw water from a nearby spring, just outside the city walls. The family built this for themselves so that fresh water could be easily brought to their home, the Palácio dos Condes de Ficalho, which they had also built into the city walls.

      The aqueduct was built in the 17th century and is part of the city wall

        The Serpa Aqueduct is an unusual piece of Portuguese engineering due to the fact that it was a private undertaking. It was built at the end of the 17th century to serve the Manor of the Counts of Ficalho, which is located in one of the sections of the Serpa wall.

        The most interesting part of the structure is located next to the Porta de Beja, where the aqueduct is supported by arches built into the wall. At the end of the aqueduct we find a Moorish waterwheel, leaning against the wall and serving as a buttress to the aqueduct itself.
