The Aqueduct and the Bridge of Arcos are part of the irrigated land that captured the water in Ponte Ferreira, being referred as existing in 1631, due to a provision of 30 May of the same year that allowed the irrigation. It was aimed to bring the water from a river bank to the other, to irrigate the fertile surrounding land. The current aqueduct is a XIX century construction. It served as a passage of both water and pedestrians. Not working anymore, it was recently restored for being an identity icon for the countryside people.
