## Visit Roman Aqueduct

Activities

#### Stroll along the top of an ancient waterway, now a picturesque path that cuts through the heart of Perugia’s old town.

One of the prettiest walking routes in Perugia is the Roman Aqueduct, which forms a narrow path through the centre of the town. Join the route from Via Appia and take a leisurely ramble across the length of this ancient structure. Walk slowly to better appreciate the beauty and atmosphere of the old town.

Although the aqueduct was first constructed by the Romans, it became a major part of the town in 1254 when it was extended to reach the spring of Monte Pacciano. See the work of Boninsegna, a Venetian architect who oversaw the project. Toward the start of the 19th century the aqueduct became a popular walking route and it remains a favoured spot for locals and visitors to take a stroll.

Walk along the remains of the aqueduct, which run for about 2 miles (3 kilometres) through the old town. Find the path, named Via dell'Acquedotto, coming off the steep slope of Via Appia.

While on the route, look for famous buildings. Spot the elegant 19th-century architecture of Gallenga Stuart Palace between the colourful houses. The walking trail ends near the historic campus of the University of Perugia.

Weave through the streets below the aqueduct to appreciate it from a different angle. Stop for photos beneath the ancient stone arches that supported the waterway.

When the aqueduct was extended in the middle of the 13th century, Nicola and Giovanni Pisano constructed the Fontana Maggiore to celebrate the achievement. Visit Piazza IV Novembre, which is near the aqueduct, to admire this stunning water feature. Two-tier polygonal stone basins are decorated with stone carvings of biblical figures and allegorical images. Look for reliefs of a lion and a griffin, the symbols of Perugia.

The Roman Aqueduct is just a 4-minute walk from Piazza IV Novembre, which is in the centre of the old town. Alternatively, ride a bus to the University of Perugia or Piazza Francesco Morlacchi for quick access to the aqueduct.
