Los Arcos Aqueduct is living history in the heart of Valencia. If you haven't been there, why not visit now?

Tucked away between mountains and valleys, Acueducto Los Arcos, Los Arcos Aqueduct in Alpuente stands as one of the great jewels of the province of Valencia's hydraulic heritage. Built in the 17th century, this monument was key to bringing water to the town of Alpuente and irrigating its fertile orchards. It is an engineering feat that combines functionality, aesthetics and harmony with the landscape.

Its more than 265 metres in length, its elegant initial curve and the upper U-shaped channel demonstrate the precision with which these infrastructures were designed. The 1.5% slope allowed a constant flow of water, essential for the agricultural and urban development of the surrounding area.

Strolling through the area is like opening a window onto the past. A walk through history, architecture and the popular wisdom that shaped the territory. If you are looking for a peaceful, cultural itinerary containing picture postcard views, add Alpuente to your list. The aqueduct awaits you! Don't miss a visit to the region of Los Serranos and enjoy its natural beauty.
