Aquedotto Mediceo, Renaissance aqueduct in Pitigliano, Italy.
The Medici Aqueduct extends over 7 kilometers through the Tuscan landscape, featuring two grand arches followed by thirteen smaller ones made of local tufa stone.
Construction began in the 16th century under Antonio da Sangallo the Younger and was completed in 1639 when the Medici family assumed control of Pitigliano.
The aqueduct represents a major engineering achievement of the Italian Renaissance, demonstrating the period's advanced understanding of hydraulic systems and architectural design.
Visitors can observe the aqueduct from multiple vantage points along the southeastern section of Pitigliano's historic center, accessible via Provincial Road 4.
The structure collects water from three different rivers - Lente, Meleta, and Prochio - channeling it through an intricate system to supply the entire town.
