Bridge of Gabelle, Historic bridge in Via San Marco, Milan, Italy
The Bridge of Gabelle spans across the Naviglio della Martesana canal, featuring a dam system that controls water levels and flow rates.
The bridge received its name from the excise duties collected from vessels passing underneath during Milan's extensive canal transportation period.
The surrounding Brera district contains numerous art studios, museums, and the historic headquarters of Corriere della Sera newspaper.
The bridge remains accessible throughout the day and connects to public transportation through bus line 94 for convenient access.
Leonardo da Vinci designed the innovative dam system at this location over 600 years ago to regulate water navigation in Milan's canals.
