What to see in the neighbourhood of Bellas Vistas in Madrid
You can go and see the aqueduct of Amaniel in Bellas Vistas, which is neither Roman nor Arabic. It was actually built in the second half of the nineteenth century, and it is part of the structure of Canal de Isabel II.
It is located at what is now the Avenida de Pablo Iglesias. In 2004, a project proposal by the City Council was meant to join Plaza de Cuzco with the M-30 (that crosses the district) through an underground tunnel, which would have resulted in demolishing the aqueduct.
Neighbours’ negative responses to the idea have managed to save the aqueduct, but unfortunately not everything could be rescued. As a great part of the aqueduct was below street level, not all seventeen arches have remained completely visible and intact.
Nowadays, you can only see a part of this mysterious architectural structure in the popular neighbourhood of Bellas Vistas in the district of Tetuán.
