Reservoir of Loriguilla en Domeño

Nature · Domeño, Los Serranos, Valencia

The Loriguilla reservoir was built in 1979 over the bed of the Turia river, in the municipality of Domeño (Los Serranos, Valencia). Its filling flooded close to 1,776 hectares of irrigated orchards and mills and affected some 250 families, burying the original town centre, Domeño Viejo. Its residents had to move several kilometres to the east to found Domeño Nuevo, already inhabited by 1981. The reservoir today dominates the municipality's landscape over the site of the former village.
