Located on the left bank of the River
Francolí, about 4 km from the town, this is one
of the most important of its type still in
existence in the eastern part of the Iberian
Peninsula. It was a key element in a complex
network of canals designed to bring water to the
town from the Francolí and Gaià rivers. It is a
dry construction of flat bossed ashlars made of
local stone. It has two storeys of superimposed
arcades, with eleven arches on the lower storey
and twenty-five arches on the upper storey. It is
217 metres long and has a maximum height of 27
metres. The original covering of the canal (specus),
where the water flowed, has been partially
preserved. We can date the construction of the
aqueduct to the first century AD.
