Acquedotto Storico, Val Bisagno
Liguria
Genova's historic aqueduct carried spring water down the Val Bisagno for centuries. Long restored stretches are now a level walking route that clings to the valley side, crossing dramatic arched bridges and a siphon over the Veilino stream, with the city always in view below and villages to break the walk.
