    The Proserpina Dam or Reservoir is one of the oldest and best-preserved Roman hydraulic works in the world. It is located about 5 km north of Mérida, in Extremadura, and forms part of the Archaeological Ensemble of Mérida, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993. The name “Proserpina” was adopted in the 18th century, after the discovery of an inscription dedicated to the goddess Ataecina-Proserpina.
