'The shaping of volume is so compelling in its starkness and purity that ornament would be superfluous.

Águas Livres Aqueduct, constructed in 1748 bringing water to the metropolitan city from 20km in Olival do Santíssimo.
On a more relevant note, this supplied the water to the fountain in the square of Rua de Seculo (my site). A celebrated feature that held high importance to urban spaces, water was once a rare commodity and so highly esteemed in Lisbon.
