Aqueduct Eagle

About

The Aqueduct Eagle was built in the late 19th century by Francisco Cantarero Senio to carry water to his sugar refinery. At the time, Mudejar architecture was experiencing a revival, and the four stories of horseshoe-shaped arches are topped with a traditional spire. This in turn is crowned by a weather vane shaped like a double-headed eagle. The aqueduct is still used for local irrigation. Along with a good vantage from a nearby bridge, a walking trail passes under the aqueduct, which offers a great photo opportunity.
