The remains of an aqueduct from the late Roman period (4th or 5th century) are preserved near the Arcs farmhouse. Three sections remain standing, a group of three arches of 12.7 meters, a solitary arch, and another group of two arches, which is 8.7 meters. The height of the aqueduct is about 4 meters. It is built with local stone bound with mortar.

It seems that it was used to supply water to a large Roman villa located where the Arcs farmhouse is now. It is of particular interest given the scarcity of remains of this type in Catalonia.
