The Carioca Aqueduct (Aqueduto da Carioca), which is an impressive example of colonial architecture and engineering, was built in the middle of the 18th century to bring fresh water from the Carioca river to the population of the city of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. The Carioca Aqueduct is located in the centre of the city, in the Lapa neighbourhood, and is frequently called Arcos da Lapa (Lapa Arches) by Brazilian people. Since the end of the 19th century the aqueduct serves as a bridge for a popular tram that connects the city centre with the Santa Teresa neighbourhood uphill, the Santa Teresa Tramway
