    The Canal de Isabel II established in San Agustín del Guadalix a series of highly attractive aqueducts with the aim of supplying Madrid with pure water from the mountains. La Retuerta and La Sima, built in the 19th century, are the most representative works.
    La Retuerta is the broader of the two.
    The two aqueducts are very close to each other. The set of arches that compose them, contribute to this type of constructions functionality and monumentality alike. These channels were fed by the water from the Atazar Reservoir, the Vellón Channel or the Guadalix Channel.
