S'Argamassa Roman Aqueduct
Ruins of an old Roman aqueduct in Santa Eulalia
Built by the Romans in the 1st century AD, this aqueduct now runs for 425 metres and reaches 2 metres high at some points.
It was used to conduct water from a spring to a fish farm. Fish were kept inside stone tanks covered in plaster to make them waterproof. Specialists think that there was probably a manufacturing industry of "garum" (popular sauce made with fish, herbs and spices, vinegar and oil) in S'Argamassa.
You can still see the channel carved on the top surface of the aqueduct, where the water flowed.

The aqueduct runs just in front of the ME Ibiza Hotel, parallel to its facade by the sea.
