Arch of the Aqueduct (Arch of the Appian Way), Perugia

In 1254 Perugia completed building an aqueduct 10 miles long from Monte Pacciano to the city's Piazza Grande, now known as 4th of November Square. The aqueduct followed a route along the Via dei Condotti, now called Via del Fagiano, and the ancient Via Appia. The last part of the of the structure ran along the Etruscan town walls.

By 1812 the route became a popular walkway. The aqueduct was lined with railings on the top of medieval arches through the Arch of the Aqueduct or the Arch of the Appian Way to the old town. The aqueduct finally ends at the Great Fountain, built in 1275, in the center of the 4th of November Square.

The Arch of the Appian Way became a part of the aqueduct in the late 13th century. The old Etruscan walls are visible on either side. The arch was renovated by architect Giulo Danti in 1516. The aqueduct is just a four minute walk from the Great Fountain.
