The Aqueduct of the Free Waters is a historic aqueduct in the city of Lisbon. It is one of the most remarkable
examples of 18th-century Portuguese engineering. The main course of the aqueduct covers 18 kms, but
the whole network of canals extends through nearly 58 kms. The project was paid for by a special sales tax
on beef, olive oil, wine, and other products. Construction of the aqueduct started in 1731. A total of 35 arches
crosses the valley, covering 941 m. It is considered a masterpiece of engineering in the Baroque period.
The 'Mother of the Water' reservoir of Amoreiras, the largest of the water reservoirs, was finished in 1834.

リスボンで市民の足となっているのはメトロ(地下鉄)と近距離地点を繋ぐ通勤、郊外型電車である。地下鉄は機能的で
速度も速く短時間に市内での移動が可能である。近郊電車は地上を走行するのでリスボンの市街地の様子を見るため
にはよい。ポルトガル鉄道のカンポライド駅近くには、あまり知られていないが、18世紀に肉、オリーブオイルや
ワインなどに課せられた付加税によって建設された歴史的構築物、水道橋を間近に見ることが出来る。
