La Pared de los Moros

La Pared de los Moros was a Roman gravity dam in Teruel province, Aragon, Spain, dating to the 3rd century AD [1]. The remnants of the dam are located in the bed of the Farlán stream, a right tributary of the Aguasvivas River, which in turn flows into the Ebro River [1]. The structure is situated atop outcroppings of Jurassic limestone [1]. Typologically, the Pared de los Moros is classified as a gravity dam with an irregular layout [1]. The design is polygonal, consisting of five sections with varying orientations, adapting to the rocky terrain [1]. The dam has a maximum width of 2.65 meters in its central part, a preserved height of 8.4 meters at its tallest point, and a length of approximately 68 meters at the top of the structure [1].
