Approximately 4 km long, the route begins with the “Steccaia” and the “Callone Reale”, two works of hydraulic engineering that since the 11th century have channeled the waters of the river into the “gore”, artificial canals that carry water towards the city and that over the centuries have served to power mills, paper mills, ironworks and other artisanal and industrial activities.
