Marmore, Artificial waterfall system in Umbria, Italy.
The Marmore Falls creates three distinct cascades totaling 165 meters in height, with its main drop measuring 85 meters from top to bottom.
Roman consul Manius Curius Dentatus ordered the construction of this waterfall system in 271 BC to manage the Velino River water and reduce wetlands.
The ancient myth tells of two rivers, Nera and Velino, as lovers transformed by Jupiter into flowing waters that merge at the falls.
Visitors need to check the daily schedule for water release times, as the falls operate on specific hours due to hydroelectric power generation needs.
The Galleto power plant, established in 1929, harnesses the water flow upstream of the falls to generate 530 megawatts of electrical power.
