Carioca Aqueduct

Vítor H.
In Portuguese 'Aqueduto da Carioca', was built in the middle of 18th century to bring fresh water from Carioca River to a fountain located in the city. Nowadays, the aqueduct is used as a bridge for the Santa Teresa tram, which serves the neighborhood uphill. It is also known as 'Arcos da Lapa' (Lapa Arches). #aqueduct #aqueduto #arches #architecture #arcos #bonde #carioca #centro #colonial #janeiro #lapa #rio #roman #santa #teresa #tram
