Ujígar aquiduct - still in work
The Roman aqueduct of Ugíjar is one of the most important and visited engineering works in the Alpujarra. Recently this active water channel has been improved and conditioned with lime mortar and a removable tramex walkway thanks to the Provincial Council and the ADR Alpujarra-Sierra Nevada. According to the local professor and historian, Joaquín Rincón Carmona, “the Ugíjar aqueduct was built by the Romans to bring water from the Nechite River to the Fuente del Arca, a watering hole and place in Ugíjar where a ravine passed and where the water was distributed”, relates.
