Imperial Channel of Aragon, Zaragoza City

  • Imperial Channel of Aragon

At the end of the 18th Century, the Spanish king Charles III gave Ramon Pignatelli the enormous task of creating a great navegable waterway which would link Cantabria and the Mediterranean.

Only 150km were built, from Bocal, near Tudela, Navarra to El Burgo de Ebro, near Zaragoza. It currently supplies Zaragoza with drinking water and irrigates 27,000 hectares.
