Fucine Inlet, Drainage infrastructure monument in Avezzano, Italy
The stone-built Fucine Inlet features three arches with sluice gates and a 7-meter statue of the Immaculate Conception at its center point.
The structure, completed in 1876 by architect Carlo Nicola Carnevali, continues Emperor Claudius's ancient Roman project to control the Fucine Lake water levels.
The inlet's neoclassical design integrates engineering requirements with architectural elements, including decorative reliefs depicting scenes from the Fucine Lake.
The facility regulates water flow from multiple Fucine canals into an outer drainage system through two storage basins and three control gates.
A second emissary tunnel constructed in 1942 connects to hydroelectric power plants while serving as a backup for the original water management system.
