Chiusa della Conchetta – Naviglio Pavese
The famous “Chiusa della Conchetta” is one of the 12 locks that characterized the Navigli navigation system of Milan designed by Leonardo Da Vinci. The Conchetta lock has two channels: the right one allows the flow of water when the left is closed; the aedicule made of red bricks played as shelter for the man encharged to open and close the lock, nowadays, after the restoration, hosts remote controlled instrumentation to move the lock that is still working.
