Aqüeducte de les Ferreres

The Aqüeducte de les Ferreres (also known as Pont del Diable, English: Devil's Bridge) is an aqueduct in Spain constructed by the Roman Empire to supply water to the ancient city of Tarraco. The aqueduct is located 4 kilometers north of Tarragona, in the Autonomous Community of Catalonia. The aqueduct is part of the Archaeological Ensemble of Tárraco, which was added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 2000.

Description

The aqueduct took water from the Francolí river, 15 kilometers north of Tarragona. It probably dates from the time of Augustus. The aqueduct has a maximum height of 27 m and a length of 249 m, including the ends where the specus runs on a wall. It was composed by two orders of archs: upper with 25 archs, lower with 11, all with the same diameter of 20 Roman feet (5,9m) with a variation of 15 cm. The distance between centres of the pillars is 26 Roman feet (7,95m).

Beautiful historic site, just next to the motorway. Make a stop when you pass it, you won't regret it.

Beautiful condition, just off the road but very few people, up close and personal.

É uma ponte muito antiga e bem conservada da idade Romana. E tem um caminho com uma ponte de madeira e depois de terra para que possa subir e caminhar em cima da ponte.

Ехать на 5 и 85 автобусе от Таррагоны, обратно сядьте на той же остановке, в ту же сторону. Автобус сделает круг и вернётся в Таррагону. Билеты - в автобусе, маршрут можно построить в Google maps)

Несомненно красивущее место. Однозначно рекомендовано к посещению. Настоящий римский акведук. От Таррагоны 15 минут на обычном автобусе, идущем на Сан-Сальвадор.
