The Canal de Castilla is the most ambitious and best conceived project in the Castilla history, one the most important hydraulic projects of Spanish Enlightenment. Its construction was slow, it was delayed by the Independence War and the consequent economic disaster, interrupted several times because of doubts or lack of money. Today the Canal is a hydraulic infrastructure working efficiently for the irrigation of the adjacent lands and for local water supply, and the Confederacion Hidrografrica del Duero is the authority which manages correctly its essential waters for the villages, towns and countrysides. In 1985 the Canal was stated historical monument. The existing architectural and technological heritage is immersed in a very rich complex of natural and lanscape values. These building elements, with the hydraulic and natural systems, must be protected. The Canal shows how an artifact, a creation of man, can be integrated in the landscape and become one of its essential components. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
