The Acueducto de Ponce (Ponce Aqueduct), formally Acueducto Alfonso XII, is the name of a historic 2.5-mile gravity-based water supply system in the city of Ponce, Puerto Rico. It was designed in 1875 by Timoteo Luberza and built the following years. This aqueduct was the first modern water distribution system built in Puerto Rico. The Aqueduct (or, more precisely, its conduit channel at its highest elevation point in Barrio Mameyes) was known as El Puente de los Suicidios (Bridge of the suicides). It was declared a National Historic Monument on 17 June 2015.
