Amoreira Aqueduct

A beautifully imposing structure in the heart of town. They are currently doing maintenance on it and re-plastering it in sections, but there isn’t any scaffolding or anything obstructing the view. There is a lot of parking right next to the aqueduct. It’s really easy to pull over and get some great pics without having to walk much. We arrived at around 3pm and there were only a few other cars in the massive parking lot. About a four minute drive from the fort as well, really easy to see both quickly.

Amazing architectural stop along the way to the town of Elvas. There is a car park right across the street and a park on either side of Aqueducts. During our visit it was being restored and conserved.

Amazing engineering achievement. Great stop off point prior to Spain crossing from Pt

Magnificent structure- don’t miss when visiting the Alentejo region of Portugal.

A huge construction, hopefully, they are restoring it and taking care of it.

I never tire of seeing these magnificent acquaduct constructions. This one took over 100 years to complete, in 1622.

Very scenic place at end of a big day cycling.

Amazing, huge aqueduct. Road network runs through the arches. Worth a stop just over the roundabout for photos

Amoreria Aqueduct in Elvas, Portugal. One of the longest aqueduct in Europe. Stunning view from all angles. It’s an icon before you enter the town with 8 km long. Built for a hundred years. It was completed in the year 1620 when the water first reached town.

Very nice place

If you like historical sites, don't miss visiting here. An incredible piece of skills!

Stunning monument. What more I have to say? Another must see (difficult not to spot it because of its huge size) in the city ... 100 years to build and 8km in length. It's huge... A lot bigger than we can imagine by the pics. Nuts.

Absolutely amazing!

Wow! 4 stories high and many kilometers stretch of this 16th century Aqueduct is a sight to see. Only 8 km from the Spanish border.

Amazing, spectacular in really good condition

Well maintained construction.

Some doubt as to parking here now. Sign says no unauthorised vehicle's. Fellow camping car people say ignore it.
Update; now has No Entry sign as well!

Most beautiful town in the world in my opinion.

Quite an entrance to Elvas. Even stopped the car to take photos.

Wow...hard to imagine these being designed and built and still in such great shape after so many years.
