Cornalvo aqueduct The Cornalvo aqueduct is of earlier date and about 17km long. The dam is 194 m long, 20 m high and on top 8 m broad with a few flights of stairs at the water side. The Cornalvo dam is also a earth dam covered with bricks, in this case with a separate inlet tower 10 m from the dam at the inside. The water channel enters the town on the east side. A few remnants of the aqueduct are still visible in the town.
