Work of the Umayyad period, to the s. X-, this architecture to the water is the best witness of its kind preserved in Extremadura Eastern typology set a three-banked ships arcaturas connected by slightly horseshoe closed and covered with a pointed barrel vaults. Still visible today are the remains of pigmented polishes and hydraulic lime that ensured the tightness of the vessel.
Such tanks are usually fed rainwater, hence the presence of the three major curbs crowning the upper terraced space, modern yet transformed, but also could be filled by pipes connected to ditches, as in Granada, or carrying water in pots, when the rain was not enough to maintain a minimum.
