This grandiose work, inspired by French neoclassical architecture, was commissioned in 1792 by Ferdinand III, Grand Duke of Tuscany, and completed by Leopold II of Lorraine, hence the name "Leopoldino". The neoclassical pipes and cisterns were part of a sophisticated plan to supply water to Livorno and clean it. It was Livorno's only water source until 1912 and still serves some parts of the city today. However, some parts of the arches are in a state of decay due to the dense surrounding vegetation.
