🇵🇹 Évora Aqueduct

The Évora Aqueduct (Aqueduto da Água de Prata) is an impressive historical structure located in the city of Évora, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Portugal. It was built in the 16th century to supply fresh water to the city, which often faced droughts. The aqueduct extends for about 18 kilometers from its source to Évora. What makes the Évora Aqueduct particularly unique is that it integrates into the city’s architecture. Within the city walls, houses, shops, and other buildings are constructed beneath and alongside the aqueduct's arches, blending the functional structure with urban life. #europeanarchitecture #100waysoftravel #portugal #oldtown #evora #unesco #worldheritage #medieval #roman #aqueduct
