Roman Aqueduct of Albarracín-Cella

The Roman aqueduct of Albarracín-Cella is a 1st-century hydraulic work that carried water from the River Guadalaviar over about 25 kilometres to a Roman settlement on the site of present-day Cella. Today you can walk several sections: galleries cut into the rock, open channels and ventilation shafts. Among the sections open to visitors, the Los Espejos galleries, beside the Albarracín road, two metres high, stand out; the tunnel of about 300 metres above the weir at Gea de Albarracín, very well preserved; and the 13 aligned shafts of Las Hoyas, between Gea and Cella. In Gea de Albarracín, the CIGea interpretation centre explains water supply in Roman Hispania and organises cultural visits to the aqueduct throughout the year.
