AQUEDUTO DAS AGUAS LIVRES:
Northwest of central Lisbon is Aqueduto das Águas Livres, an aqueduct from the 1700s designed by an Italian architect (not an ancient Roman aqueduct as many might think). It survived the 1755 earthquake, that occured around the time it begun to supply water to the citizens.. Today a modern highway passes through underneath it. As it is quite hard to reach for pedestrians from central Lisbon, we only had the opportunity to take pictures from the train windows. There are opportunities to visit and cross it though, if you visit the Museu da Agua (Water Museum).
