Details
It carried the water needed to power Nero's Baths, capturing water on the border between the municipalities of Zagarolo (Valle Martella) and Rome (Rocca Cencia), not far from Gabi, along a route of approximately 22 km. It is the same aqueduct visible in Centocelle. It is precisely at Torre Angela that the aqueduct emerges from its underground path, and it is here that the first arches, some of which are considerable in height, appear. Unfortunately, along its entire length in the area, it is surrounded by private property, once as a boundary wall, once as the walls of buildings. A real shame, because it is truly well preserved in some places.
