Not far from Felluns, the beautiful aqueduct of Ansignan spans the Agly highlighting the vineyard landscape of its ancient silhouette. It is a vestige of the Roman era. A bridge would have preceded it and would date from the time of the Volques Tectosages. The stone walls of the arches are dated between 220 and 270 AD. It has been reworked in several eras and especially in the Middle Ages. The very pretty village of Ansignan takes its name from the Roman villa of a certain Ansinus which was located at the village place.

The aqueduct of Ansignan is still used by vine growers for irrigation. It is 170 meters long. Its lower part is a tunnel allowing to cross it on foot. It consists of 29 arches and spans the Agly from its 15 m high. Several hiking trails allow you to discover it. Walking from Felluns.
