Almonacid de la Cuba Dam, Ancient Roman waterway in Almonacid de la Cuba, Spain.
The dam rises 34 meters above the Aguasvivas River with a length of 120 meters and a base width of 38 meters.
Engineers constructed this gravity dam during Emperor Augustus's reign in the first century AD to manage water resources for agriculture and urban needs.
The Spanish government designated the structure as a bien de interés cultural, recognizing its place in the national architectural heritage.
During severe floods in 2024, the dam demonstrated its continued effectiveness by protecting the town from devastating water flows.
The structure maintains its status as the highest surviving Roman dam in the world, displaying advanced engineering techniques of ancient Rome.
