Acquedotto Mediceo, Renaissance aqueduct in Pisa and San Giuliano Terme, Italy
The stone structure extends for 6 kilometers with 934 arches connecting Asciano to Pisa, ending at the Porto delle Gondole near the Medieval Walls.
Ferdinand I de' Medici commissioned this engineering project in 1588, which was completed in 1613 under architect Andrea Sandrini's supervision to supply water from Serchio River.
The aqueduct represents early 17th-century Italian engineering methods, combining functional water management with architectural elements typical of Renaissance infrastructure.
Current sections of the structure serve as cycling and walking paths between Pisa and Asciano Pisano along the panoramic Via dei Condotti.
The foundation incorporates buried pine tree trunks, while the structure uses a combination of stone and bricks throughout its arched construction.
