About this experience
Morelia Aqueduct
Completed in 1789 to bring fresh water from the springs of Las Fuentes to the city's fountains, the Aqueduct is a Morelia icon. Its 253 arches reach 9 metres high and look spectacular when illuminated at night.
Walk the parallel calzada lined with ash trees and bronze busts, or sit at one of the open-air cafés that look directly onto the arches.
