Viena edicions

It would be impossible to understand the economic, urban and social growth of Barcelona without the Rec Comtal irrigation canal. This book traces the canal’s history, which evolved from the original Roman aqueduct. It maps out how the canal developed through the centuries as the water it brought to the city was used for different purposes. The canal fell into disuse in the 19th century and was rediscovered in the 21st century.
