Aqueduct by Lorenzo Nottolini
Speaking about the historical artistical heritage that visitors
can find in Lucca area, it's impossible to forget the aqueduct built by
Lorenzo Nottolini.
The
works, begun in 1823, were interrupted at various times and ended in 1851.
The water, which came from the sources on Monte Pisano, reached the town
centre, flowing over the little temples of Guamo and S. Concordio by means
of a duct extending on a row of more than 400 brick arches, which is 3,250
meters long, and going across the gallery under the bulwark of S. Colombano. |
