Valdemorillo's Church Square has been transformed into an open-air exhibition hall to commemorate 175 years of Canal de Isabel II's history with a photographic display.

The exhibition, titled ‘We Drive the Future of Madrid’, consists of six two-meter-high totems showcasing historical images. These photographs document everything from the construction of the first dam, the Pontón de la Oliva, to the modern infrastructures that currently ensure water supply in the Community of Madrid.
The exhibition not only illustrates the progress in water management in the region but also projects a vision towards future technological advancements in sustainability and efficiency. Visitors can enjoy this selection of historical and contemporary images, accompanied by explanatory texts and curiosities about the development of the integral water cycle, until May 10.

"Water is fundamental for life, and ensuring its supply in optimal conditions is a goal for both the Canal and the City Council itself."
