Imperial Canal of Aragon, Irrigation canal in Navarre and Zaragoza Province, Spain.

The Imperial Canal of Aragon extends 110 kilometers from Fontellas to Fuentes de Ebro, following the Ebro River through agricultural landscapes.

Construction of the canal began in 1776 under Ramón Pignatelli's direction, incorporating engineering techniques that revolutionized water management in Spain.

The canal system includes numerous architectural elements such as the El Bocal dam, locks, bridges, and mills that represent Spanish engineering heritage.

Modern irrigation communities along the canal coordinate water distribution to agricultural areas, maintaining its original purpose of supporting regional farming.

The waterway contains three main lock groups in Zaragoza with a total elevation change of 125 meters throughout its course.
