Les Ferreres Aqueduct or 'Pont del Diable'

<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The Ferreres aqueduct or 'Pont del Diable' (Devil’s Bridge)</strong>&nbsp;is a work of Roman hydraulic engineering probably built in the 1st century AD to guarantee the water supply to Tarraco, at a time of urban expansion and growing importance as the provincial capital. The bridge is part of the long Francol&iacute; aqueduct, which carried water to the city through a channel (specus) with a very controlled slope. The structure stands out for its two rows of semicircular arches, reaching a length of 217 meters and a maximum height of 27 meters.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">Over time,&nbsp;<strong>'Pont del Diable' (Devil’s Bridge)</strong>&nbsp;has become a heritage symbol for its monumentality, state of conservation and the weight of the legends that accompany it. The estate was embellished in the 19th and early 20th centuries by the Puig i Valls brothers, who created a romantic garden there with pedagogical and environmental awareness purposes. The monument, declared a Cultural Asset of National Interest (BCIN) and included in the UNESCO World Heritage List since 2000, is today one of the most emblematic elements of the archaeological complex of Tarraco.</p>
