Downstream of the Duero River, at the end of the urban area of the city, by the Olivares neighborhood, is one of the oldest water mills in Zamora. In the second half of the 18th century, there was a fulling mill with five wheels, owned by the nuns of La Concepción, known as Los Pisones, where the wool was conditioned for the production of cloth, by means of a machine equipped with hammers to hit, degrease and squeeze. the cloths.

The word aceña has its origin in the Arabic word "hazañilla".
An aceña is a hydraulic device located in the same course of the river. Like any other water mill, it allows to crush the cereal grain and transform it into the flour with which the bread will be made later.

The Aceñas de los Pisones have the charm of being on a river bank with lush vegetation, although their ruined state prevents them from being visited with the appropriate security measures...
