Diga di Simbirizzi, Water reservoir in Quartu Sant'Elena, Sardinia, Italy.

The Simbirizzi Dam spans 57 meters across a natural basin, rising 22 meters from its foundation to create an artificial lake with a surface area of 3.23 square kilometers.

Engineer Mario Mulas designed the dam in 1975, and construction took place between 1978 and 1985, with DIPENTA S.p.A. from Rome leading the project implementation.

The Simbirizzi Dam represents a crucial element of Sardinia's water management infrastructure, operated by the Sardinian Water Authority for regional development.

The reservoir maintains a total water capacity of 33.44 million cubic meters, providing essential irrigation resources to the surrounding agricultural areas.

Three additional earthen embankments reinforce the natural depressions along the lake shores, complementing the main concrete gravity dam structure.
