Muel Dam, Roman hydraulic structure in Muel, Spain.
The Roman dam features limestone blocks arranged in specific patterns, rising 10.35 meters high with a base thickness of 11.5 meters.
Built during Augustus reign in the 1st century AD, the dam supplied water to Colonia Caesaraugusta through a reservoir covering 80 hectares.
The Ermita de Nuestra Señora de la Fuente, constructed in 1770 above the dam, contains oil frescoes painted by Francisco Goya depicting church fathers.
The site combines religious ceremonies, guided tours, and cultural events, maintaining regular visiting hours for those interested in Roman engineering.
Materials from the upper section of the original dam structure were repurposed during the construction of the eighteenth-century church.
