Event Description

This proposed walk will allow us to get to know an important part of the route of the Água de Prata Aqueduct, the most important hydraulic work of the 16th century and a national monument that brought water from the Divor springs to the city of Évora. Another event not to be missed!

Silver Water Aqueduct

The Silver Water Aqueduct, also known as the Silver Water Aqueduct or Silver Aqueduct, is a complex work of Renaissance hydraulic engineering with the aim of supplying the city of Évora with water. Inaugurated in 1537, it was built during the reign of King João III and designed and built by the royal architect Francisco de Arruda. The aqueduct carries water from springs located in Graça do Divor, within the grounds of the São Bento de Castris Convent, which "have their first beginnings in the Herdade das Figueiras de Lobo", to the city of Évora, which is about 18 kilometres away. It is an integral part of Évora's Historic Centre.

The Água de Prata Aqueduct was the most important hydraulic work built in Portugal in the 16th century and is classified as a National Monument.
