The Cavalciotto is a weir located in Santa Lucia which dates back to the 11th century and is a fundamental component of the complex Prato water system, made up of no less than 53 kilometers of millponds which, starting from there, cross the whole territory and then flow into the Ombrone river.
The main function of the Cavalciotto was therefore to (partially) divert the natural course of the Bisenzio to give life to the so-called Gorone, the first and largest gora in Prato.
The Cavalciotto is one of the most important examples of industrial archeology in the Prato area. cittadiprato.it/IT/Sezioni/132/Il-Cavalciotto

Waterfalls and Stone Bridge on the Rio Buti

Highlight • Waterfall

Along the cycle path, you pass the Rio Buti over a small bridge. On one side there is a small road that allows you to see the drafts created by the crystalline water of the small Rio.

Bisenzio Cycle Path

Highlight • Cycleway

The cycle paths of Prato along the left and right banks of the Bisenzio are very useful for avoiding city traffic; it's a shame that they named them after famous cyclists without indicating the direction!

Mercatale Bridge

Highlight • Bridge

The Mercatale bridge is located in Prato and is of medieval origin. It gave access to the homonymous square which at the time was one of the largest in Europe. Before the Second World War the bridge was enlarged and reinforced with concrete but in 1944 it was bombed and now has the original medieval structure.
