This reconstructed aqueduct arch is at the north side of the remains of ancient walls which surrounded Bàrcino, a Roman colony from the first century through the Middle Ages, in the oldest district of Barcelona - the Gothic Quarter. The replica was built in 1958 at the base of one of two remaining towers - Torres Romanes - at Plaza Nueva. A stone marker embedded in its east face reads:

ARCO Y PILAR
RECONSTRUIDOS
SOBRE EL BASAMENTO
ORIGINAL -- MCMLVIII

Translated: "Arch and pillar rebuilt on the original plinth -- MCMLVIII"
