Aqueduct Muro das Nove Janelas
About
On São Miguel (Azores), Aqueduct Muro das Nove Janelas sits along M508, 9545, Portugal, in the island's interior. Ponta Delgada, Furnas, Ribeira Grande, Lagoa, Vila Franca do Campo, Nordeste, Setes Cidades and Povoação all lie within reach of the M508 route.
An average of 4.7 out of five from 248 reviews makes this one of the higher-scoring attractions on São Miguel. First-time visitors should expect a historic stone structure rather than a managed visitor site, with the nine arched openings giving the aqueduct its name. The setting is rural, so a car or a place on an organised tour is the practical way to arrive.
The M508 runs through the island's interior, and the aqueduct stands as a roadside landmark rather than a destination with its own facilities. Portuguese is the main language on São Miguel, spoken with distinctive island accents and local words.
Summer is the driest and warmest season, and the sea is warm enough for swimming from June to September. Direct flights connect the Azores with Lisbon, Porto and other European cities, and smaller aircraft link islands within the group, so reaching São Miguel is straightforward for most visitors.
