Esclusas y molino de Casablanca
The Esclusas y molino de Casablanca (English: Locks and mill at Casablanca) or Puerto de Casablanca (Port of Casablanca), also known as Almenara, Esclusas, Casa or San Carlos Mill, is a hydraulic complex located along the Imperial Canal of Aragon in Zaragoza (Spain). It was inaugurated as part of the Imperial Canal of Aragon works in 1786 and formed an integral part of Zaragoza life from the 18th century. It was a site of great significance during the Enlightenment in Aragon, in the sieges of Zaragoza during the Peninsular War, and in the industrialization and electrification of the 20th century in the region. As such, it formed the historic nucleus of the current Casablanca neighborhood and district, to which it gave its current name due to its characteristic white walls. Today, it serves as a small hydroelectric power station and as a historic complex around which a park known for the Fountain of the Incredulous is organized. Since 2000 it has been protected as a Bien de Interés Cultural (Asset of Cultural Interest).
