The Aqueduct of Nottolini is an aqueduct in Neoclassical Style near the city of Lucca, region of Tuscany, Italy. The 19th-century structure brought water to Lucca from the mountains south of the city through a stone channel supported by more than 400 arches, stretching for over 3 kilometres. It is now interrupted by the east-west autostrada A11 from Florence to Pisa. The water was then conveyed northward through covered stone conduits to the temple-tank of San Concordio (43°50′09″N 10°30′32″E), just outside the fortified walls of Lucca. The arches were mainly built with brick.
