Aqueduct Água de Prata

Fine looking aqueduct nothing really special compared to other examples through Europe. More impressive things to see in the town but it is a quick stop right outside the walls and you probably have to drive under it anyway to get to the rest of town. The way houses built into the arches inside the wall is a little cool

During a quick evening walk, we stopped by the Água de Prata Aqueduct, and it was truly an impressive sight. Unlike many famous aqueducts, this one wasn’t built by the Romans but dates back to medieval times around the 1530’s if I’m not mistaken. It’s a remarkable piece of engineering that still stands proudly, stretching across the landscape with a quiet elegance. While it doesn’t appear to be lit up at night (which is a bit of a shame), it’s absolutely worth walking past, especially to appreciate its scale and historical significance. Even with just a short visit, it left a strong impression simple, grand, and a wonderful reminder of human ingenuity.

It is a really old aqueduct, built back in the 16th century, over 480 years ago! The aqueduct brought water to the city from springs about 18 kilometers away. Part of this structure runs underground, and part is visible as large stone arches, between which houses and shops were later built. This place is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it is one of the most famous attractions in Évora. If you come to Portugal, you should definitely visit this amazing historical place! 💧🇵🇹

These aqueducts are an iconic piece of history and scenery for Evora and they are a fantastic site to visit. They provide a stunning piece of history and photographic opportunities.

This is a very cool structure running through the town. It's hundreds of years old and as it runs right through the centre of town, it has been incorporated into many of the houses and shops, rather than it being torn down. Definitely an amazing site to take in as you explore the town.

It was okay. Nice to see it and walk in to main area. See houses and street built in between. Arch gets smarter n smarter as u go up n up

Ancient Roman aqueduct in Evora that short walk from the Roman temple ruins. Say 10 mins walk. No need to buy tickets. Quite unique to see as it was built into the houses and residential areas. Worthy a visit. Cobble stones pavement areas. Be careful as you walk.

Visited August 2024 Always interesting to see the Aqueducts through out Europe...they are a testament to the engineering strength of those who came before us! Massive structures requiring massive energy to put in place. Always Impressive
