Séquia de la Nòria
This involves a large canal cut and excavated on the local “toscar” sandstone quarry which was used during the Roman age to facilitate the entry of saltwater, to form a saline zone known as the “Saladar” (Salt Marsh). Over the centuries, a waterwheel ("noria") was included, a mechanism with a large vertical wooden wheel that was turned by an animal.
