The Proserpina Reservoir is an ancient Roman dam located about 5 kilometers north of Mérida, in the province of Badajoz, Extremadura. Built in the 1st century BC, this reservoir is one of the oldest in Spain and has been declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO.
The Proserpina Reservoir is a fascinating place both for its history and for its natural beauty.

Nice place that can be completely surrounded. Historically it is a very important site, not only because it is a Roman dam, but also because the battle of Albuera was fought here, in which the troops of Isabel la Católica were victorious and allowed her to acquire the throne of Castile.
