    A Roman relic that is still in use. Construction of the reservoir began in the 1st century BC. to supply Mérida through its aqueduct and is still active today as a bathing and recreation area. This thousand-year-old structure is part of the civil engineering complex that completes the majestic monuments that adorn the cities and is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

      The reservoir, already created by the Romans, supplied water to Merida via canals and the huge Milagros Aqueduct. If you don't cycle past quickly on the nice riverside path, you can see the ancient Roman mechanisms used to pump water into the canals.

        Reservoir north of Mérida for bathing or cycling through the surrounding pasture.
