Selected
decorative inclined plane
Structure 3 had nine construction phases and has an interesting decorative inclined plane, **an alfarda***. Within it is a tunnel constructed by archaeologists that allows visitors a view of ancient stonework. Structures 4 and 5 provided housing for the elite, and under the structure, you can see a drain built by the Maya to channel water to other parts of the site.

The excellent land-watering system constructed by the Muslims throughout Al-Andalus is attested to by the Spanish language, rich in Arabic loan words in the field of irrigation from names of the waterways to the laws and administration of the system irrigation ditch (acequia-al-saqiya), pool (alberca-al-birka) and **irrigating duty ***(alfarda or farda-alfarda). More than the pen of any historian, these words tell the story of the Arab impact on the irrigation system in Spain
