The aqueduct was built in 1256, during the reign of King Manfred of Swabia, and is representative of the great economic, demographic and cultural capacity Sulmona had achieved, thanks to the support of Frederick II.
“Sulmontinorum laus est” with this inscription engraved in Teutonic characters between the central arches, confirming the importance of the work and the entrepreneurial spirit of the city.
To feed the town gardens, supply energy to the mills and small local stores, water from the Gizio River, captured south of the town, was piped into a canal with several branches, until it flowed free-flowing over the magnificent ogival arches supported by massive pillars of local limestone.
A branch of the aqueduct, with other arches, now gone, went to supply water to the western sector of the city.
The power developed was to be about 8 KW and the water flow sufficient to meet the energy needs of that complex of mills, gualchiere and similar activities taking place in the city at that time.
The history of such an important city cannot be exhausted in one edition.
For this reason, Epogea, periodically produces new products dedicated to the cultural, historical and scenic heritage of the city of Sulmona.
