Naviglio della Martesana, Canal system in Lombardy, Italy
The Naviglio Martesana extends for 38 kilometers from Trezzo sull'Adda to Milan, featuring varying widths between 9 and 18 meters and depths from one to three meters.
Construction began in 1457 after Duke Filippo Maria Visconti's approval, with the canal's inauguration taking place on January 1, 1465, under Bianca Maria Sforza's supervision.
The waterway passes through numerous noble villas built during the Baroque period, when wealthy Milanese families established residences along its banks for summer retreats.
Modern visitors can access a dedicated cycling path that runs parallel to the canal, connecting multiple towns from Trezzo sull'Adda to the center of Milan.
The canal system includes over 129 branches that irrigate 25,000 hectares of land, creating a clear division between the northern arid plain and southern irrigated lowlands.
