The Aqueduct of Ferrara, Italy
We’re back to Italy again today thanks to our user calval and we are looking at one of Ferrara’s landmarks - the Aqueduct. It is 37 meters high and made from concrete. Unlike many real aqueducts which you can find in Italy, and which date back to the Roman times, this one was built as late as the 1930s. It’s more ancient Roman than you probably think though - did you know that concrete was widely used by Romans (it was invented by Assyrians though)?

The Ferrara aqueduct is located in the Garden District, a lovely area which is at the same time green, quiet, centrally located and full of nightspots such as bars and cafes (is that really possible?). All of that makes it a popular meeting point, especially among the young part of the Ferrara population.
