Roman dam of Belas
Encyclopedia
The Roman dam of Belas
(III century AD) may have served the city of Olisipo
or a local roman villa (Roman villa of Quinta da Bolacha
).
Some 10 km from the city center, the aqueduct starts with a roman build brick dam in the Carenque river.
The dam is still visible today (length of 15,5m, 7 m wide and 8 m high). The capacity of the dam was 125.000 m3.
Its channel can be followed over some 1300 m but then it's course is lost due to the much modern Águas Livres Aqueduct
that was built over the old structures.
