Description

Image of the disappeared village of Tragó de Noguera, taken in the early 1960s, shortly before and during the flood that caused it to disappear under the waters of the Santa Anna swamp. The old municipality of Tragó de Noguera included the towns of Tragó de Noguera, Blancafort, Canelles, Boix and Alberola and, except for the last one, all these towns were abandoned and flooded due to the construction of the Canelles and Santa Anna reservoirs.
