Underground deposit in which snow was stored. El Moncayo was a great snow producing and exporting center.

The Prado de Santa Lucía Snow Well is located near San Martín de Moncayo, in the province of Zaragoza, within the natural setting of the Moncayo Natural Park.
This well is a traditional construction formerly used to store snow during the winter, which was then compacted and preserved for medical, food, or refrigeration purposes during warmer seasons. It is a semi-buried structure with stone walls and a vaulted roof, designed to retain the cold for months.
