Domeño Viejo y Domeño Nuevo

Curiosity · Domeño, Los Serranos, Valencia

Domeño was relocated between 1954 and 1981 due to the construction of the Loriguilla reservoir, giving rise to two separate settlements: Domeño Viejo and Domeño Nuevo. The first expropriation notices arrived in 1962 and in 1966 the Government approved the total displacement of the population; the agreement for the acquisition of land was signed in 1970 and the last relocations were completed between 1978 and 1981. In total 250 families were affected and 1,776 fanegadas (147.58 hectares) were flooded. The new population settled at the masía del Carril, in the municipality of Liria, which eventually became the new Domeño.
