Talarn Dam (Template:Langx), also referred to as the Sant Antoni Dam, is a concrete gravity dam on the Noguera Pallaresa River, a tributary of the Ebro River, north of Tremp near Lleida in Catalonia, Spain. The dam is 206 meters long and 82 meters high and supplies a hydro-electric station with an output of 30 MW.[1]
Construction of the dam lasted from 1911 to 1916.[2] It was a huge undertaking needing ten million cubic feet of concrete. It was part of a larger project to build dams to store water in reservoirs to feed powerplants and to provide irrigation for farming.[3]
Construction of the hydroelectric power station lasted from 1914 to 1917. It was built by Riegos y Fuerza del Ebro, a subsidiary of La Canadenca, on the Susterris strait where the Sant Antoni hermitage was located.[4]
In 2025, the archaeology department of the University of Barcelona started to prospect the area to study the remains of the camps of the workers who built the dam.[2]
