About This Museum

Tucked away on the Paseo San Prudencio, the Museo del Agua tells the story of Soria's lifeblood. It's a place that feels less like a traditional museum and more like a conversation with the city's past, all centered on that most precious resource: water. You'll find yourself learning about ancient irrigation channels, the old public fountains where neighbors once gossiped, and the sheer human effort it took to quench a thirsty city. It’s a quiet, contemplative spot that makes you appreciate every drop.

Collection Highlights

The exhibits really bring history to life; you can't miss the detailed models of the city's historic water wheels and the 'qanats', those incredible underground channels dug by hand. One of my favorite pieces is a simple, worn stone drinking trough—it speaks volumes about daily life centuries ago.

Visitor Information

It's right there on the paseo, easy to find for a peaceful afternoon visit. Just check their current hours before you pop in, as they can be seasonal.

Architecture & Building

Housed in a restored stone building that once had a direct role in the city's water supply, it has that lovely, unassuming Sorian character with thick walls and terracotta tiles.
