Tips from locals
Popularly known as Arcos do Jardim [Garden Arches] given its contiguous location to the botanical garden of the University of Coimbra, this aqueduct construction was ordered by King D. Sebastião in 1570, to supply water to the city’s Alta area [uptown], taking advantage of the existing route of the Roman aqueduct that existed before.
