Castle of Íllora

Unique aqueduct

Highlight • Monument

This spectacular mini-aqueduct, next to a large farmhouse (now abandoned), once served to carry water from a distance away from the factory. That water was likely intended to power some moving elements for grinding grain or perhaps olives.
I have been unable to find the name of this important estate.
