Poço 1 do aqueduto da Quinta do Bonjardim

Water Mine Well This well near Quinta do Bonjardim, in Belas, is the only visible part of a water catchment aqueduct. For those who pass on the trail and do not know, it is not possible to build. About its history and origin, I have no information. But the construction is typical of the aqueducts and respirators in the Vale de Belas. About Serra da Carregueira Serra da Carregueira is a massif located northwest of Lisbon, composed of a series of hills that, due to their more rugged relief, stand out from the surrounding wavy relief. The northern sector of the mountain has several bollards over 300 meters high, the highest point being the geodesic landmark of Aruil, with an altitude of 334 meters. Monte Suímo, with 291 meters of altitude, is the highest point in the southern sector of the mountain. It lies between Dona Maria, to the east, Meleças, to the west, Belas, to the south, and Almargem do Bispo, to the north. It includes the important aquifer in Vale de Lobos, formerly used by the Águas Livres Aqueduct and its subsidiaries, of which the Mata Aqueduct stands out. In the Serra da Carregueira are born the main water courses that flow into the Atlantic Ocean between Lisbon and Oeiras after crossing the cities of Amadora, Queluz and Agualva-Cacém: Jamor River and the affluent Ribeira de Belas and Ribeira de Carenque Ribeira das Jardas, also known as Ribeira dos Ossos and Ribeira de Barcarena
