Aqueduct Aguas Libris - perhaps the most famous technical structure of Lisbon, which is also considered a visiting card of the Portuguese capital. The structure, which is a string of high-altitude stone arches, was erected in the early 18th century and became a real salvation for the inhabitants of Lisbon. A whimsical engineering facility helped once and for all solve the problem of acute shortage of drinking water in the city. His contribution to the water supply system, he makes now.

Although the Aqueduct Aguas Libris in Lisbon stretched for tens of kilometers, the most spectacular part of it - the arches, towering over the valley of Alcantara. There are more than 30 arches, the most "tall" of which reaches a height of more than 60 meters.

For a long time the aqueduct of Aguas Libris was closed to tourists and only two years ago it became again accessible for excursions. By the way, this structure is one of the few that survived after the powerful earthquake in Lisbon in 1755.
