Introduction

On Camí de les Creus (Way of the Crosses), there is a 16th-century “water mine”  consisting of a stone gallery and a tunnel dug into the rock, formerly used to bring water from Calvari Hill to Gironella Tower, and previously to Sant Domènec monastery and Plaça dels Lledoners within the city walls. The course of the water mine can be seen by observing the stone walls, with stone chimneys acting as air vents.
