The construction of the aqueduct proved to be a benefit for Asciano. The town and surrounding countryside were in fact deserted due to the repeated flooding of the Arno, which had resulted in a marshy environment. The construction, begun in 1588 and finished in 1613, was started by Cosimo I with the construction of the first underground conduit; later it was decided to continue the aqueduct with raised arches, which are still visible today for a few kilometres.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another interesting religious building is the <strong>Church of Santa Maria<\/strong>, located not far from the aqueduct cistern. The church retains its original 11th-century layout, with a single nave and a semicircular apse. The fa\u00e7ade is characterised by three arches on the lower level and five smaller arches on the upper level, decorated with archaic motifs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8645,"parent":0,"template":"","tipo-attrazione":[],"filter-who":[],"filter-time":[],"class_list":["post-52184","attrazione","type-attrazione","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"wpml_current_locale":"en_US","wpml_translations":[{"locale":"it_IT","id":49740,"post_title":"San Giuliano Terme | Asciano Pisano","href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/san-giuliano-terme-asciano-pisano\/"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/attrazione\/52184","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/attrazione"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/attrazione"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8645"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=52184"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"tipo-attrazione","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tipo-attrazione?post=52184"},{"taxonomy":"filter-who","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-who?post=52184"},{"taxonomy":"filter-time","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.terredipisa.it\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/filter-time?post=52184"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
