Description

Popularly known as “Arcos do Jardim”, given its location next to the Botanical Garden of the University of Coimbra, this aqueduct was built in 1570 by King D. Sebastião, to supply water to Alta da Cidade, taking advantage of the layout of a previous Roman aqueduct. . The design of this imposing structure, which extends over a kilometer, is attributed to the Italian engineer Felipe Terzi. The first arch, called the "arch of honor" differs from the rest; topped by a cornice, in which the Portuguese shield is inserted, it is topped by a canopy, resting on Doric columns and crowned by a dome and lantern; each side presents two niches with images of São Sebastião and São Roque.
