The Roman Dam of Belas is a 3rd century Roman barrier constructed to serve the city of Olisipo, located in civil parish of Queluz e Belas, municipality of Sintra .
In 1571, Francisco de Holanda first identified the dam and fountains constructed in Lisbon . Holanda, an exponent of the Portuguese Renaissance, painter and humanist, designed the dam and the fountains that were built in the Portuguese capital, then suggesting that they be used reused to bring water to the city. This was typical of the posture of someone who had interned in Rome, promoted by the policies of King John III , that contemplated his cultural scholarship in Europe. During this period Holanda was motivated by the rediscovery and elevation of the classical antiquity, whose testaments in Italy had influenced the principal courts of Europe.
