Les Ferreres Aqueduct, also known as the Pont del Diable or Devil's Bridge, is an ancient Roman aqueduct located near Tarragona, Spain. It was built in the 1st century AD to supply water to the city of Tarraco (modern-day Tarragona) from the nearby Francolí River.
The aqueduct is an impressive example of Roman engineering and architecture, consisting of two levels of arches supported by massive stone pillars. It stretches for over 217 meters and stands at a height of 27 meters at its highest point.
The name Pont del Diable, or Devil's Bridge, is derived from a local legend that says the aqueduct was built by the devil in exchange for the soul of the first living being to cross it. However, this myth likely originated in the Middle Ages and has no historical basis.
Today, the Les Ferreres Aqueduct is a popular tourist attraction and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Visitors can walk along the aqueduct and admire its impressive architecture, as well as enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside.
