Santa Fe Reservoir
Santa Fe Reservoir (Pantà de Santa Fe) is a man-made lake on the Riera de Gualba in Fogars de Montclús, Catalonia, Spain. It collects water from the Riera de Gualba, a tributary of the Tordera River, and covers about 6.9 hectares with a capacity of 899,000 cubic meters. The arch-gravity dam is 24 meters high and 160 meters long, built with local granite and completed in 1935. The project began in 1920 after a small dam, built to power a planned luxury hotel by Ramón de Montaner, proved insufficient. The final design was by Pere Domènech i Roura (not Lluís Domènech i Montaner), and the dam also supplied electricity to the nearby town of Gualba. The site is a popular destination for picnics and excursions and is easy to reach on foot from the road.
