The aqueduct of Vanvitelli (Italian name: Acquedotto Carolino , in German Carolinian aqueduct ) is an aqueduct near the municipality of Valle di Maddaloni in the Italian region of Campania .
history
The aqueduct was built between 1753 and 1762 according to plans by the eponymous architect Luigi Vanvitelli for Charles III. built. It has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997, along with the Palace of Caserta , the Castle Gardens and San Leucio . The aqueduct is part of an approximately 38 km long aqueduct, which transported the water from the spring of Fizzo to the summit of Montebriano and thus supplied the many fountains in the palace gardens and the city of Caserta with sufficient water. The inauguration was on May 7, 1762. The construction work dragged on until 1769, depending on the source. The perfectly preserved 529 meter long and 55.8 meter high section near the town of Valle di Maddaloni is of particular architectural value .
