Acueducto de los Milagros

Highlight • Monument

This colossal aqueduct is part of a hydraulic pipeline that brought water from the Proserpina reservoir or Charca de la Albuera. It is popularly known as "Los Milagros" due to the admiration that its state of conservation caused in locals and foreigners despite the vicissitudes of time. Awesome place!

Proserpina Roman Dam

Highlight • Monument

The Proserpina Dam or Reservoir is one of the oldest and best-preserved Roman hydraulic works in the world. It is located about 5 km north of Mérida, in Extremadura, and forms part of the Archaeological Ensemble of Mérida, declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1993. The name “Proserpina” was adopted in the 18th century, after the discovery of an inscription dedicated to the goddess Ataecina-Proserpina.

Proserpina Reservoir Viewpoint

Highlight • Viewpoint

From the Proserpina Reservoir viewpoint, you can enjoy a spectacular panoramic view of this ancient Roman reservoir: the stone wall stretches out in front of you, with its stepped buttresses and incredible views. On clear days, you can see the gentle undulations of the Sierra de Carija in the background.

Proserpina Reservoir

Highlight • Lake

About five kilometres to the northwest of the city is this Roman reservoir, in the same place where the famous Battle of Albuera took place. It was in this battle that Isabel la Católica decided the dispute over the throne of Castile between her and Juana “la Beltraneja”.

Path to Trujillanos

Highlight • Trail

Nice path that goes away from the town of Trujillanos and the fact that the surrounding is almost all flat, lets us see towns on the horizon.
