Near Sasso Marconi, the ruins of an aqueduct built by the Romans in 15 BC are located along the right bank of the Setta, just before the confluence with the Reno. Guided tours are often organized and reaching the ruins of the aqueduct is quite easy.

Here the path passes where in Roman times there was the Roman aqueduct. The bottom is compact and the path is wide, it can become slippery in case of mud.
