The new Fayón by José Borobio

Historical milestone · Fayón, Bajo Aragón-Caspe, Zaragoza

Image of Fayón, not of the place itself.

The opening of the Riba-roja reservoir in 1967 flooded the old quarter and made it necessary to build a new village, designed by the architect José Borobio. The population went from some one thousand six hundred households in 1960 to little more than six hundred ten years later.
