Map

At the end of the 19th century, the construction of the Viale Michelangelo also included the Ramps, which rise from the Arno towards the hill with a consolidation function. This neo-Mannerist architecture was realised by Giuseppe Poggi, who created a succession of staircases, grottoes and water features. From above, the water passes through the first three grottoes, and then flows downwards into five other grottoes until it gathers completely at the large pool of the Porta San Niccolò.
