Archaeological remains found in the term of Alzira, next to the river Xuquer, in the area of Moncada. It could have been an old water wheel for irrigation.

Materials that can be observed: brick and mortar.
Remains of the shaft and an arch to its left. Part of the structure would have been buried, as well as a wall over which the water inlet would be channeled to move the mechanism.

Acknowledgments: Alzira City Council and Juan Bautista Galán (head of the rural police service of Alzira City Council).
