Another segment of the aquaduct is visible down the street from this site.
Among authors there is no discussion about the roman origin, but the exact dating is difficult because of lack of documentary evidence. It was possibly built in the time the town got its walls, between 68 and 65 BC when Julius Caesar conquered Spain.
The present remains seem to be partly medieval and partly 'modern' but they correspondent with the vestiges of a roman aqueduct that probably followed the same trace.
When was it built?: 01/01/1000
