Esclusas de Valdegurriana, Navigation lock in Zaragoza, Spain
The Valdegurriana lock system consists of four oval-shaped chambers with a total drop of 13 meters along the Imperial Canal of Aragon.
The locks were constructed between 1776 and 1790 as part of the Imperial Canal of Aragon, commissioned by Count Floridablanca and directed by Ramon Pignatelli.
These locks represent an example of 18th-century hydraulic engineering, built with precisely cut stonework marked by master stonemasons for accurate placement.
The site can be reached by walking or cycling along the Valdegurriana path, which forms part of the Zaragoza Green Ring network.
Each lock chamber features an oval design that allows water to flow gradually between levels, enabling boats to navigate up or down the canal system.
