Acquedotto di Cortaccione, Roman aqueduct and archaeological site in Spoleto, Italy
The Cortaccione Aqueduct extends across the landscape with stone arches and channels designed to transport water from mountain springs to Spoleto.
Giuseppe Sordini discovered this Roman water infrastructure in 1823, revealing engineering techniques that supplied water to the ancient settlement at 462 meters elevation.
The aqueduct represents Roman engineering knowledge, connecting to the Ponte delle Torri bridge system that served Spoleto's water needs for centuries.
Visitors can access the archaeological site through guided tours that explain the water distribution methods and architectural features of the structure.
The aqueduct contains original Roman elements including drainage tunnels, collection basins, and water pipes that demonstrate advanced hydraulic engineering.
