The Aqueduct of Algeciras is one of the most important buildings in Algeciras, Spain. Numerous textbooks, dictionaries and guidebooks cite this building as Arabic or Roman but it was built in the eighteenth century.
The image of the city from the hills nearby, with arches in the foreground and Gibraltar in the background, was one of the most common postcards of the city during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. To provide water to the city, the aqueduct began construction in 1777, completed in 1783. It had two sections, the farthest located in the suburb of El Cobre and precisely known as Los Arcos del Cobre, and a section nearest the neighborhood of La Bajadilla, now almost disappeared due to the large number of buildings that have been attached. It currently passes through the neighborhood of La Bajadilla.
