Zigzagging stairs
Towering 83 meters above the Ter River, the Ponta de Sau Dam is a remarkable feat of engineering in Catalunya. Built in 1962, this concrete giant holds back millions of cubic meters of water, forming the vast reservoir behind it. One of its most intriguing features is the set of steep, zigzagging stairs running along its side, offering a close-up view of the dam’s immense scale and precision.
These stairs, though challenging, provide a unique vantage point for those interested in exploring the structure up close. A marvel of both functionality and design, the Ponta de Sau Dam is essential to the region’s water management and hydroelectric power, and a fascinating landmark to visit.
