Opened on March 28, 1537, the Aqueduto da Prata de Évora is one of the most notable works carried out in the city in the first half of the 16th century. It was built in just six years, under the direction of the royal architect Francisco de Arruda, and extends for approximately 18 km, until reaching Herdade do Divor, where it supplies water.

Erected between 1532 and 1537, this Renaissance-style aqueduct finally provided clean drinking water to the entire population of Évora. The city is located in a dry region with little rainfall throughout the year, so water had to be brought from a lake and a river several kilometers away. It connected fountains for 18km, including the one at the center of the city’s main square, Praça do Giraldo.
