Acueducto de San Lázaro
A water-carrying bridge rebuilt in the 16th century on a Roman aqueduct line, with three original Roman piers still standing beside it, next to the Roman Circus.
The Acueducto de San Lázaro is an arched bridge rebuilt in the 16th century along the route of a Roman aqueduct, used to bring water from the north, toward Cornalvo, into the city. Beside it stand three original Roman aqueduct piers of granite and brick, allowing a direct comparison of the craftsmanship of two eras. Remains of a Roman bath complex are also nearby. Located north of the Roman Circus on the banks of the Albarregas River, it is free and can be visited together with the Circus.
