Consuegra Dam

Also known as: Consuegra-Staudamm, Consuegra-Staumauer, diga di Consuegra, Presa de Consuegra, Presa Romana de Consuegra, Staudamm von Consuegra

The Consuegra Dam is a ruined Roman buttress dam in Toledo province, Castilla–La Mancha [1]. The dam dates to the 3rd or 4th century AD [1]. It is on the River Amarguillo upstream from Consuegra [1]. Although less than 5 metres high, the dam was remarkably long, over 600 metres [1]. The reservoir seems to have had a dual function of supplying water to Consuegra and irrigating farmland [1].
