Caños de Carmona The forgotten aqueduct of Seville

The Caños de Carmona were a historic aqueduct that supplied the city of Seville with water for nearly two thousand years.

Its construction is attributed to the Romans (circa 68-65 BC), but the structure as it was known until the 20th century was largely rebuilt by the Almohads in the 12th century, under Caliph Abu Yaqub Yusuf (inauguration in 1172).

It carried water from the Santa Lucía spring in Alcalá de Guadaíra to Seville, about 17 kilometers, and was largely made of brick arches, sometimes on two levels.

Although it operated until the early 20th century, most of the aqueduct was demolished in 1912 (and remaining sections until 1959) for urban planning reasons.

Today, only a few fragments of the work remain, mainly in the Nervión neighborhood, along Luis Montoto Street. These remains constitute a tangible reminder of Roman and Almohad hydraulic engineering in Seville.
