At the end of the 19^th Century, the City of Telde experienced an important economic boom thanks to its agricultural industry, and for this reason it was necessary for a hydraulic system to be constructed which transported water to where it was most needed, Aqueducts similar to this one were built due to the need to irrigate the land. The San Francisco aqueduct is made up of a series of arches supported by heavy columns all of which are made from volcanic remains.
