Curiosity · La Serna del Monte, Sierra Norte, Madrid

Image of La Serna del Monte, not of the place itself.

A circular stone slab with an iron rod at its centre, set up opposite the town hall, which served as a sundial for irrigation: the engraved radii marked the veces, the turn allotted to each villager to draw water from the communal channel.
