The Pescaia di Santa Rosa is a significant hydraulic structure located along the Arno River in Florence. This weir, characterized by its solid concrete construction spanning the river, holds both historical and practical importance. Originally built to support the operations of local mills, it now primarily serves to regulate the flow of the Arno, contributing to flood prevention and water management.
The site is a historical and cultural landmark, known not only for its engineering function but also as a place for relaxation and social gatherings. During the summer, for instance, the area around the weir transforms into a sort of urban beach where people sunbathe and unwind, while in winter, the structure is often submerged due to rising water levels, dramatically altering the landscape.
The Pescaia di Santa Rosa is open every day. Each visit offers a unique landscape, shaped by the level of the Arno River. It is recommended to visit at sunset, when the river glows with a golden hue.
