The venue
L'Aqüeducte Palombarum
Hidden Barcino: the aqueduct that flowed.
The Palombarum Aqueduct, a remarkable Roman engineering feat, unveils Sant Andreu's historical link to ancient Barcino. Erected between the late 1st century BCE and early 1st century CE, this approximately nine-kilometer aqueduct transported water from the Besòs river to supply the colony. Its walls, built with high-quality stone and lime mortar, attest to the sophisticated hydraulic infrastructure of the era. Its remnants, located at C Fernando Pessoa 1, offer a tangible window into Roman ingenuity, weaving into the neighborhood's urban fabric and evoking the persistent imprint of the past beneath contemporary Barcelona.
