THE AQUEDUCT
It is a construction from the s. XVII of 1.5 kilometers of development in which the use of limestone and partition is observed, joined with mortar of slaked lime and river sand, as well as scraps of the same rock. Its formation is, basically, a succession of semicircular arches throughout its development.
This construction belongs to the monumental complex of the Hospital hacienda, where you can still see a large part of its buildings, such as the chacuaco (chimney), some rooms that have ceilings with Catalan vaults and lanterns, magnificent windows with large blacksmith, its perimeter fence and a small chapel.
THE PROJECT
The project to enhance and restore the aqueduct was born from the concern of Cuautla citizens to improve their built cultural heritage. Since the end of 2018, various actions have been carried out with the purpose of highlighting this monument and giving it life through the participation of national and international volunteers. Since 2019, more than 18 actions have been organized in which more than 500 people have participated. The project has also generated the implementation of activities that give life to the aqueduct such as thematic bicycle rides, photographic exhibitions, musical presentations, among others.
