As a result, the water level in Buendia reservoir in the central province of Sacedon has decreased to 22.82%, exposing the ancient bathhouses at Royal Site of La Isabela.

The site used to be a vacation town for Spanish kings and aristocrats, who would relax in the bathhouses.

The bathhouses were submerged after the reservoir was built in the 1950s.
