Tribunal de las Aguas
Valencia · Valencian Community · Spain
Third place~Siglo X
The customary court that settles the huerta's irrigation disputes in the street, orally and in minutes, and has done so for a millennium. UNESCO Intangible Heritage and perhaps Europe's oldest living institution of communal governance: the commons before the word existed.
