Aqueduto das Aguas Livres
Lisbon, Portugal
The aqueduct was erected in the first half of the 17th century and survived during the earthquake of 1755. It is still included in the city’s existing water supply system. The arches of the aqueduct reach a height of 60 meters. Until the middle of the XIX century it was possible to walk on it, however, it was decided to close the passage due to frequent suicides. Nowadays, an aqueduct can be a tour in an organized group.

It's quite an experience to walk out along such a wonderful national monument. But don't go if you are afraid of heights. |

Great quick stop on our rode trip. The road actually goes through the aqueduct at one point so it is also worth just driving by. |

Historically significant and unique. It looks like they are in the process of adding information speakers. For now you have to do your own research. |
