Aqueduct
This monumental aqueduct, the distinguishing feature of Queretaro, was constructed between 1726 and 1735 when it began bringing water into the city. It is a demonstration of the talent and creativity of artisans as well as the generosity of Juan Antonio de Urrutia y Arana who underwrote the greater part of the cost of the work. The aqueduct brings the vital liquid from the springs of La Cañada to the Convent of La Cruz protecting the valley of Carretas. The structure consists of 74 concrete and stone arches, which are 20 square meters at the base, 18 deep at the foundation, arches with a radius
of 5.85 m and a maximum height of 28.5 m.
