La Serena Reservoir, Water reservoir in Badajoz Province, Spain
The La Serena Reservoir extends across 13,949 hectares, making it the largest water surface area in Spain and the second largest reservoir on the Iberian Peninsula.
The Spanish royal family inaugurated this substantial water infrastructure on February 2, 1990, following its construction period from 1985 to 1989.
The reservoir's creation transformed the previously dry region into an inland sea, reshaping the landscape of the Siberia district with its freshwater coastline.
The reservoir supplies water to 14,000 hectares of agricultural land and generates hydroelectric power through a 25.1 MW power station built into the dam.
The concrete gravity dam measures 91 meters in height and stretches 580 meters across, controlling the flow of the Zújar River, known for its irregular water patterns.
