Aquas Livres Aqueduct - Lisbon, Portugal
The Águas Livres Aqueduct (Portuguese: Aqueduto das Águas Livres, pronounced: [ɐkɨˈdutu dɐʃ ˈaɡwɐʃ ˈlivɾɨʃ], Aqueduct of the Free Waters) is a historic aqueduct in the city of Lisbon, Portugal. It is one of the most remarkable examples of 18th-century Portuguese engineering. The main course of the aqueduct covers 11 miles or 18 kilometers, but the whole network of canals extends through nearly 36 miles or 58 kilometers.
The city of Lisbon has always suffered from the lack of drinking water, and King John V decided to build an aqueduct to bring water from sources in the parish of Caneças, in the modern municipality of Odivelas. The project was paid for by a special sales tax on beef, olive oil, wine, and other products.
Construction started in 1731 under the direction of Italian architect Antonio Canevari, replaced in 1732 by a group of Portuguese architects and engineers, including Manuel da Maia, Azevedo Fortes and José da Silva Pais. Between 1733 and 1736, the project was directed by Manuel da Maia, who in turn was replaced by Custódio Vieira, who would remain at the head of the project until around 1747.

Lisboa Amoreiras, Portugal
The Amoreiras (Mulberry) garden, located in Lisbon's Praça das Amoreiras, is partly delimited by the Águas Livres Aqueduct and is located on the Mãe d'Água, a historical water supply for the city of Lisbon and the current Water Museum.
Flanking the garden are the Árpád Szenes-Vieira da Silva Foundation, installed in the former silk factory, the Chapel of Our Lady of Monserrate and several 18th-century dwellings originally built to house the workers of the silk factory.
The Chapel of Our Lady of Monserrate is next to the fifth arch of the aqueduct and was built by order of the Silk Fabric Brotherhood during the 18th century.
In the center of the garden is a circular fountain, which is flanked by stone benches.
The Amoreiras Garden was designed by the Marquis of Pombal and opened in 1759. The Marquis of Pombal designed 331 mulberries for the site of the Silk Factory, with the purpose of promoting the Portuguese silk industry. The Mulberry Fair was held here.
The Mãe d'Água das Amoreiras Reservoir is the deposit that collects the waters from the Águas Livres aqueduct, in the district of Lisbon. It was designed in 1745 and built in Jardim das Amoreiras, being completed in 1834.

The Aguas Livres Aqueduct ( Aqueduto das Águas Livres, Aqueduct of the Free Waters)
is a historic aqueduct in the city of Lisbon, Portugal.
It is one of the most remarkable examples of 18th-century Portuguese engineering.
The main course of the aqueduct covers 18 km, but the whole network of canals extends through nearly 58 km.Construction started in 1731 under the direction of Italian architect Antonio Canevari, replaced in 1732 by a group of Portuguese architects and engineers, including Manuel da Maia, Azevedo Fortes and José da Silva Pais. Between 1733 and 1736, the project was directed by Manuel da Maia, who in turn was replaced by Custódio Vieira, who would remain at the head of the project until around 1747.
Custódio Vieira conceived the centerpiece of the aqueduct, the arches over the Alcantara valley, completed in 1744. A total of 35 arches cross the valley, covering 941 m. The tallest arches reach a height of 65 m, and many are pointed, reminiscent of arches in Gothic style. It is considered a masterpiece of engineering in the Baroque period.
In 1748, although the project was still unfinished, the aqueduct finally started to bring water to the city of Lisbon, a fact celebrated in a commemorative arch built in the Amoreiras neighbourhood. From this period on, construction was overseen by other architects, including Carlos Mardel of Hungary and others. During the reigns of José I and Maria I, the network of canals and fountains was greatly enlarged.

Aqueduto das Águas Livres de Lisboa
Construído entre 1731 e 1799, por determinação régia, o Aqueduto das Águas Livres constituiu um vasto sistema de captação e transporte de água, por via gravítica. Classificado como Monumento Nacional desde 1910 é considerado uma obra notável da engenharia hidráulica.
No total, o sistema do Aqueduto das Águas Livres, dentro e fora de Lisboa, atingia cerca de 58 km de extensão em meados do século XIX, tendo as suas águas deixado de ser aproveitadas para consumo humano a partir da década de 60, do século XX.
A extraordinária arcaria do vale de Alcântara, numa extensão de 941m, é composta por 35 arcos, incluindo, entre estes, o maior arco em ogiva, em pedra, do mundo, com 65,29 m de altura e 28,86 m de largura.
O Museu da Água promove e dinamiza visitas livres e guiadas à arcaria do vale de Alcântara.
