Conchetta, Navigation lock in Naviglio Pavese, Milan, Italy
The Conchetta lock features two parallel channels with gates that regulate water levels, allowing boats to navigate between different elevations of 1.8 meters.
Engineers Filippo degli Organi and Fioravante di Bologna developed this lock system in 1438, introducing stepped waterways that revolutionized canal transportation.
The lock system represents the 15th-century Milanese engineering expertise, which established the foundation for the city's extensive water management infrastructure.
Located at Via Ascanio Sforza 61, the lock continues to function as part of Milan's canal network, demonstrating historical water navigation techniques.
The secondary channel, known as emergency discharge, maintains minimum water flow in Naviglio Pavese when the main lock operates for boat passages.
