The Arcos de Zapata are the remains, well preserved, of what was the aqueduct of the Fuente del Rey from the eighteenth century, which was built to bring water to Malaga, although it was never completed. Over time, some houses were annexed to the complex and gave their name to the neighborhood that was formed in this part of the municipality.

The Arcos de Zapata are the arches of a historic 18th-century aqueduct intended to carry water from the Fuente del Rey to Málaga, but which was never fully operational. Today, the remaining arches are a visible relic of this ancient water conduit, some several meters high, and partially integrated into the townscape, for example, with houses built beneath them. Although the aqueduct never fulfilled its original purpose, it is considered a historical and cultural landmark of the region and is an interesting destination for cycling tours in the area.
