"The Inmaculada Jesuitas School in Alicante was built in the mid-20th century on the slopes of the Serra Grossa. Its construction required major interventions on the terrain, along with an ambitious hydraulic system designed to supply water to the entire complex. The most distinctive element of this system was the construction of two semi-buried cisterns at the upper part of the site, conceived to distribute water by gravity to the rest of the school."

The Inmaculada Jesuitas School in Alicante was built in the mid-20th century on the slopes of the Serra Grossa. The construction required major interventions on the terrain and the installation of an ambitious hydraulic system to supply water to the entire complex. Two semi-buried cisterns located at the upper part of the site enabled gravity-fed distribution of water throughout the school. These cisterns fell into disuse for more than half a century after the arrival of a public water supply. The cisterns were later converted into a multi-purpose space by Estudio Ubeda Valero and Roque Carlos Valero.
