 Caja del AguaTambién conocida como "La Conservera," este depósito de
agua es suministrado por un acueducto subterráneo que corre por toda la Calzada de Guadalupe, desde la Cañada de Lobo, sur de la ciudad en las faldas de la Sierra de San Miguelito, en donde los aguadores llenaban sus tinajas para repartir el vital líquido a los vecinos.Fue diseñada en estilo neoclásico por José Guerrero y Solachi - grabador egresado de la Academia de San Carlos - y construida en cantera por Juan N. Sanabria.Existieron en la ciudad muchas más fuentes y cajas de agua, ahora desaparecidas, que eran ramales de este acueducto.English translation:Water ReservoirAlso known as "La Conservera" (the conserver), this reservoir of water is supplied by an underground aqueduct that runs along the whole Calzada de Guadalupe road, from the Cañada de Lobo, to the south of the city at the skirts of the Sierra de San Miguelito, where the water-fillers filled their water tanks to distribute this essential liquid to the neighbors. It was designed in a neoclassical



style by José Guerrero and Solachi - an engraver, who graduated from the San Carlos Academy - and built in stone by Juan N. Sanabria. There were many more fountains and water reservoirs in the city that were branches of this aqueduct, but they have since disappeared.
