Aqueduct of Los Milagros

Also known as Acueducto de los Milagros

The Aqueduct of Los Milagros is a Roman aqueduct at Mérida in Spain, ancient Emerita Augusta, capital of Lusitania. It carried water from the Proserpina reservoir to the city, and a stretch of some 800 metres of its granite and brick piers still stands, up to about 25 metres high. Its name, 'the miracles', reflects local wonder at its survival, and it is part of Mérida's World Heritage Site.
