The Cornalvo Dam is an impressive Roman engineering work located about 15 km from Mérida. Built in the 1st century AD, this dam is still in use today and is part of the Cornalvo Natural Park. The reservoir is an ideal place to enjoy nature and explore Roman history.

Built around 130 AD, this dam was used to supply water to the ancient Roman city of Augusta Emerita. The reservoir and its surroundings were declared a natural park in 2004, making it an ideal destination for nature and history lovers.

A magnificent place to see and hear how the water falls in this old mill that in its time offered us numerous advances and that is currently obsolete. It's in ruins; but it allows you to appreciate its wall, the waterfall and the building where said mill was located.

Spectacular located on a hill at the top of the town that has the same name as the castle, Montánchez. It is worth going through its walls, all of which are straight.
