Acquedotto medievale, Medieval aqueduct in Salerno, Italy.
The aqueduct consists of two main branches with arches reaching 21 meters in height, connected near the ancient city walls of Salerno.
Built in the 9th century during the Lombard rule, this engineering structure originally supplied water to the monastery of Saint Benedict.
The structure earned the name Ponte del Diavolo due to local tales about its construction by alchemist Pietro Barliario with supernatural assistance.
The aqueduct extends for 650 meters, with 255 meters supported by arches and pillars, while the remaining sections run underground.
This medieval structure introduced the pointed arch design in its architecture, marking an early implementation of this engineering innovation.
