    The Pyramid, obelisk that recalls the eighteenth-century reclamation of the area below still today called Pian del Lago. The Pyramid also marks the beginning of the Canale del Granduca, a tunnel of about 2 kilometers perfectly preserved and still usable, which was used to allow the outflow of the waters.

    Below the Spire is the entrance to the tunnel, which, after about 2 kilometers underground, leads the Pian del Lago runoff waters into the Rigo stream, along the road that leads to Lecceto.

    The Canal known as "del Granduca" was actually built by the then owner of the places: Francesco Bindi Sergardi in 1770 and only perfected by the Grand Duke Leopoldo of Lorraine.
