The Magazzolo Lake is an artificial lake formed by the damming of the Magazzolo river through the Castello dam. The project dates back to the late sixties but it took ten years to build this dam between 1975 and 1985. The waters of this lake are used for civil and agricultural use and serve various municipalities in the province of Agrigento.
