The Imperial Canal of Aragon is one of the most important hydraulic works in Europe. It is a 110 km irrigation and navigation canal built between 1776 and 1790 between Fontellas (Navarre) and Fuentes de Ebro (Aragon). Its construction was intended to improve the irrigation of the old Acequia de Aragón, taking water from the Ebro River to Zaragoza and allowing irrigation to be extended in the region. It also established a transport service for passengers and goods between Tudela and Zaragoza.
