Super interesting to visit and read about. If you go above the waterfall you can see in to the aqueduct. Wish so much you could walk in it! Free entry on first Sunday of yurt month

For 2 euros (if you are 65 +) it's great. Very educational for 9 to 15 yr Olds and gives you a great time line on Lisbon's development. Neat setting in an old water building. Doesn't take long to go through it.

**★★★★☆ Cristiano — 11 months ago

It is not one of the city's most popular tourist attractions, but it is a very interesting place. You will learn about the history of water treatment in Lisbon and the region and see gigantic equipment used in the mid-20th century.
