Barragem de Montargil

Barragem de Montargil is a concrete dam located in Montargil that creates a large reservoir. The structure holds back water to supply the region and provides a water body where visitors can observe the engineering work and the surrounding landscape.

The dam was constructed to store water for irrigation and hydroelectric power generation. The project supported regional agricultural and industrial development through better water management.

The dam is accessible from outside where you can view the structure and the water surface. Visit during warmer months for more pleasant conditions and better visibility of the surroundings.
