カステルヴィスコンティ周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Always a happy presence and a passage in many of our tours, I think it is one of the most photographed highlights

The hydraulic junction of the Tombe Morte-Tredici Ponti constitutes the most important concentration of artificial waterways in the province of Cremona, irrigating approximately 85,000 hectares of countryside. Here the Naviglio Civico di Cremona, the Naviglio Grande Pallavicino and the Canale Vacchelli intersect, the latter pouring almost all of its flow into the Naviglio Pallavicino, the Naviglio Civico and a dozen irrigation ditches through an impressive system of locks. Finally, a spillway, built between 1968 and 1981, detaches from the junction, which discharges any excess flow from the Naviglio Civico, the Naviglio Pallavicino and the Vacchelli into the Oglio river. Two different hypotheses have been made regarding the origin of the name, the first would originate from the term tomba which is synonymous with siphon, a hydraulic element that connects two conduits. Probably some of these artifacts would have fallen into disuse, hence the adjective death. Another hypothesis is linked to the discovery of several dozen burials dating back to the late Roman era.

The intersection of these channels is very suggestive

BRIDGE CLOSED: on May 4, 2025 I found the entire bridge section closed, I think it had been like that for a long time. I tried to cross anyway but in fact there are large fallen logs to climb over on the path, but above all the last section of the bridge collapsed to the bottom due to a huge post. Let's hope they fix it, and soon. 😭

The Pietro Vacchelli canal is an important hydraulic work from the late 1800s built by the Consorzio Irrigazioni Cremonesi to irrigate 80 thousand hectares of the Cremona countryside in the stretch between the Adda River and the Tombe Morte locality in Genivolta.

nice road great surface

unfortunately the storm made a tree fall on the bridge destroying the last stretch a real shame

it is unique, it was built in pre-Christian style as the Romans did
