about The Los Milagros Aqueduct
The Los Milagros Aqueduct (Acueducto de Los Milagros) is an incredibly well-preserved Roman water supply system in Merida in Spain.
Comprised of a trio of looming brick arches, the remains of the Los Milagros Aqueduct are a fantastic example of Roman engineering. In Ancient Roman times, the Los Milagros Aqueduct would have supplied water to Augusta Emerita, which was the capital of Lusitania and which would become Merida. Today, it is visible from afar and can be viewed from the roadside and surrounding fields.
Together with other sites such as the Merida Roman Circus and Merida Amphitheatre, the Los Milagros Aqueduct is a UNESCO World Heritage site.
