Construction began under the abbess Donna Maria de Menezes, who acquired the land around the spring to build the aqueduct. When the abbess D. Catarina Lima noticed the incorrect calculation of the gradient, work was stopped again in 1636. It was not until 1705 that construction resumed under the abbess D. Bárbara Micaela de Ataíde and was finally completed in 1714. The aqueduct originally consisted of 999 arches, which are no longer fully preserved today. With the decree of June 16, 1910, the building was classified as a Monumento Nacional .
