The Amoreira Aqueduct is a 16th-century aqueduct that spans the Portuguese municipality of Elvas.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site brings water from 8km away, providing life for the city of Elvas since the 16th Century. Spanning hills, plains and rivers, the aqueduct was the only water source in the region for centuries. The aqueduct has a length of 7,054 metres from its spring in the Serra do Bispo until the Chafariz do Jardim, and another 450 metres to the town fountain.
