Óbidos Aqueduct

The Aqueduct of Óbidos is a historical water transport system located in the town of Óbidos. It was built in the 16th century during the reign of King João III. The aqueduct was designed to carry water from a nearby spring to the town of Óbidos, which had grown massively in population and needed a reliable water source.

The aqueduct is a great example of Renaissance engineering and ingenuity. It features a series of arches that span across the landscape and supply water into the town through several channels and pipes. The construction is mostly made of stone, and it is a remarkable landmark due to its grandeur and historical importance.

The aqueduct has been an essential part of Óbidos’ history, contributing to the development and sustenance of the town. Today, it is still a remarkable feature of the town, attracting visitors for its beauty and historical significance.
