The Acueducto de los Milagros is a remarkable ancient Roman aqueduct located in Mérida, Spain. Constructed during the first century AD, it was originally designed to supply water to the Roman colony of Emerita Augusta from the nearby Proserpina Dam. What makes this aqueduct particularly striking is its impressive arches, some of which reach heights of up to 25 meters. Built using a combination of granite and brick, the structure has withstood the test of time and remains a testament to Roman engineering prowess.
