    In Spain, where more than 200 people were killed by massive floods, a dam built under the Roman Empire prevented widespread destruction in the municipality of Almonacid de la Cuba in Zaragoza.

    .

    This was reported by El Espanol.

    A video published by the media shows how water accumulates to the limit of the dam, which does not allow it to overflow further and effectively distributes powerful flows, ensuring a gradual decline that saved the municipality from flooding, as happened in a number of other settlements in Spain.

    The dam was designed so that the water flowed down the slope away from the houses. As a result, Almonacid de la Cuba suffered no damage or injury.

    The dam was built in the 1st century. AD during the reign of Emperor Augustus. It is the tallest surviving Roman dam in the world and is popularly known as Cuba.

    Although the construction of the dam dates back to the 1st century, it underwent several modifications over the following years until it reached its current state. Practically, from the 3rd century. it was abandoned until the Muslim period in Spain, when it began to be used as a dam to divert water for irrigation of the area, which continues to this day.

    According to Spanish media, there are currently 214 known victims of floods in Spain caused by heavy rains.
