Aqueduto do Convento de Cristo - Troço Pegões Altos

Beautiful long aqueduct. It looks small from the ground, but then you go up the stairs and realize how long it is. And there is a parking platz under it. Free entry. The was a man playing hand-pan (Rui). Not very adequate for children as they might fall.

Impressive aquaduct that was commissioned by King John the III of Portugal in 1590 to supply water to the nearby Convent of Christ and the town of Tomar. It has 168 arches and was built in the renessance and mannerist style.

A very large and impressive aqueduct. The view from above is spectacular, it is worth going up and walking along it.

Very much worth the detour to see the aqueducs. They are impressively tall and you are able to walk on top them!

Amazing architectural ruin with great history. We can see a little of what is left. Very interesting and a short walk from the palace lower garden

Well worth the drive from Tomar (it's not that far)... spectacular architecture and engineering...

Basically, the Convent of Christ is already fine enough to get you to visit Tomar. But just a couple of kilometers away (10 minutes by car), you’ll find this impressive, well-preserved aqueduct. It’s accessible and you can walk from one tower to another. Just enjoy the icing on the cake!

Amazing to see what was built to deliver water. The structure is massive.
