Séquia de Mislata, Medieval irrigation canal in Valencia, Spain

The Acequia de Mislata extends 2.80 kilometers from Manises to Quart de Poblet, featuring a three-meter-wide channel with stone-lined water control structures.

The irrigation system dates back to medieval times, with currently visible stonework from the 17th and 18th centuries forming part of Valencia's water management network.

The Water Court of Valencia oversees this canal system, where farmers gather every Thursday at the cathedral door to resolve irrigation disputes through verbal proceedings.

The canal divides into two main branches at Quart: one flows north toward Braç dels Moros for agricultural areas, while the other runs parallel to V-30 highway.

The House of the Gates contains original control mechanisms for managing water flow, rebuilt after the 1957 flood while maintaining its historical function.
