Sulmona, l'Acquedotto Medioevale con sullo sfondo il Monte Morrone e la Maiella innevata

            Il lato sud di Piazza Garibaldi (già Piazza Maggiore) è delimitato dall'imponente Acquedotto Medievale costruito nel 1256 sotto il regno di Manfredi, figlio di Federico II di Svevia.
E' costituito da 21 arcate a sesto acuto in pietra concia, per una lunghezza complessiva di circa 100 metri. Si è mantenuto pressoché intatto nel corso dei secoli e dal 1962 sono state eliminate anche delle vecchie case che in parte ne coprivano la vista. Esisteva anche un ramo secondario per i settori occidentali del centro storico, ma è andato perduto nel disastroso terremoto del 1706. L'acqua era destinata a rifornire le filande, le officine e un piccolo mulino ma anche orti e giardini all'interno delle mura di cinta. L'acquedotto è caratterizzato da una prima parte in cui i pilastri sono completamente visibili e da una parte terminale parzialmente coperta dalla scalinata, opera di tagliapietre lombardi, necessaria per raccordare la piazza con Corso Ovidio.


English version
The southern side of Piazza Garibaldi (former Piazza Maggiore) is bounded by the imposing Medioeval Aqueduct built in the year 1256 under the reign of Manfredi, soon of Frederick II of Swabia.
It is made by of twenty-one pointed arcades of tanning stone, for a total length of about one hundred meters. The aqueduct has preserved itself almost intact over the centuries and from the year 1962 also some houses around the structure were broke down which they covered in part the sight. There was also a secondary branch for the western sectors of the old district, although it is gone now as it collapsed in the catastrophic earthsquake happened in the year 1706. The water was meant to supply the spinning mills, the workshops, a small mill as well as vegetables gardens and gardens within the walls. The aqueduct is featured by visible pillars on its first part and by a terminal part partially covered from the staircase, work by stonecutters coming from Lombardy, needed to connect the square with Corso Ovidio.
