The San Policarpo flood

Historical milestone · Huerta, Las Villas, Salamanca

Image of Huerta, not of the place itself.

The Tormes flood known as the San Policarpo flood of 1626 destroyed Huerta almost completely and swept away the river's hydraulic works. It was the decisive blow in the decline the village suffered throughout the 17th century.
