These wells were essential to the town\u2019s water supply, particularly during periods of drought. Probably medieval in origin, Pou Poal is the only surviving counterweighted lever well in Mallorca. It bears witness to the importance of water in daily life and agriculture. The structure consists of the well shaft, a raised base, a parapet, two partially preserved pillars and two solid stone monoliths, which were used until the eighteenth century to support a counterweighted lever mechanism for drawing water. Stone paving surrounds the entire structure. Other wells in the municipality also have interesting histories and are examples of Mallorca\u2019s traditional hydraulic engineering.      <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":2384,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"categories":[],"class_list":["post-3495","punt-dinteres","type-punt-dinteres","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Pou Poal - Visit Binissalem<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/visitbinissalem.com\/en\/punt-dinteres\/pou-poal\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Pou Poal - Visit Binissalem\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Cam\u00ed del Pou Poal Pou Poal is one of the many historic communal wells found in Binissalem.
