Belver Dam

The dam is part of the national hydrological plan for major works, which began in late 1940s. Inaugurated in 1952, it rises to a height of 30 metres above the natural ground level, and the crest is 328 metres long. The installed capacity for the generation of electricity is 80.7 MW. While the main purpose of the dam is the production of electricity, it has created a fabulous reservoir where visitors can enjoy fishing and other leisure activities. When the reservoir filled up, it submerged the old towpaths along the river banks, as well as the abandoned facilities of the Belver Spa.
