El Atazar Dam, Arch dam in Community of Madrid, Spain.
The El Atazar Dam spans across the Lozoya River with a height of 134 meters and width of 52.3 meters at its foundation point.
Construction of the dam began in 1968 and completed in 1972, marking a significant advancement in Spanish water infrastructure development.
The dam represents an engineering achievement that transformed water management practices in the Madrid metropolitan region through its reservoir system.
Visitors can access the dam site during daylight hours and observe both the concrete structure and the water reservoir it creates.
The dam's double curvature concrete arch design required specific repairs in 1979 after a 46-meter crack developed in its structure.
