The construction of the Séquia of Manresa

Historical milestone · Manresa, Bages, Barcelona

Image of Manresa, not of the place itself.

Between 1339 and 1383 the city opened a canal of almost thirty kilometres to bring water from the Llobregat from Balsareny and break the chronic drought of the plain. The work, of minimal gradient, still supplies and irrigates the municipal district.
