Description

The <a href="https://www.aguasdealicante.es/el-museo-de-aguas-de-alicante">Museo de Aguas de Alicante</a> is located in one of the most typical places of the old quarter of Alicante, the Plaza del Puente, next to one of the entrances to the Ereta Park, on the slope of Mount Benacantil, on the top of which stands the Castle of Santa Barbara.&nbsp;<img src="https://alicanteout.com/wp-content/uploads/museo-aguas-alicante.jpg" alt="Museo de Aguas de Alicante y Pozos de Garrigós - AlicanteOut.com"> The museum has 3 floors. It is a cultural and educational space, available to visitors where they can learn about the history of water in the city.&nbsp;&nbsp;Next to the museum are the Garrigós Wells. Although there are doubts about the origin of these wells, it is believed that at least one of them dates from the time of Muslim domination, although the rest are from the sixteenth century. However, in their current configuration they were built in the 19th century to alleviate the effects of the prolonged droughts suffered by the city. They ceased to be used in 1898, when water began to be brought from the nearby town of Sax. The capacities of these dwellings, excavated in the rock, are 141,000, 275,000 and 425,000 dm3.
