View of the Mountains from the Small Parking Area

Highlight • Viewpoint

There's a small parking lot for a maximum of three cars. These shouldn't be too wide, as the access is via a narrow path. The view here is amazing.

Beautiful Santallago Estate with restaurant

Highlight • Restaurant

After having traveled a nice stretch in the woods and a panoramic stretch on a provincial road, we reach the Santallago estate. A place immersed in nature that extends over a plateau of about four hectares at 800 meters above sea level. There is a restaurant with a large parking lot and surrounded by chestnut, fir, beech and cherry woods. Lunch break at about 13:00-13:30.

Itinerario delle Parole d'Oro

Suggestivo percorso ai piedi del Monte Pisano che costeggia l'antico acquedotto monumentale di Lorenzo Nottolini. Un luogo dove natura e storia accompagnano il cammino verso Lucca.

21.8 km

Ponte delle Parole d'Oro

Il sentiero n. 128 segue l'antico acquedotto del Nottolini e prende il nome da una storica iscrizione in bronzo posta su un ponticello. Un percorso immerso nella natura che collega la valle di San Quirico al crinale del Monte Pisano.

Le Parole d'Oro Aqueduct and Bridges

Highlight • Monument

The itinerary begins at the Romanesque church of San Quirico in Guamo. Just above the church, the route enters the Rio San Quirico valley and goes up along the aqueduct collection systems: the site is called "The Golden Words" due to a bronze inscription on the side of a small bridge. This leads to the ridge above, where the cart track runs from Vorno to Santallago, near the Gallonzora houses and the ambientometric astronomical observatory on the right.
From a pass just beyond, the itinerary heads to the left, goes around Monte Vallone, ending at the important pass of Prato a Sigliori or Sillori. Having crossed the forest road to Sant'Andrea, continue towards San Valentino and along the so-called Monsagrati path, you reach the Santallago road again.

Tiempietto di Guamo

Elegante edificio monumentale dell'Acquedotto del Nottolini, realizzato nell'Ottocento per alimentare la città di Lucca. È uno dei simboli dell'ingegneria idraulica toscana e introduce il pellegrino alla piana lucchese.

Guamo Temple-Cistern

Highlight • Monument

A marvel set in the greenery at the foot of the Pisan mountains. The Nottolini aqueduct continues to Lucca, exactly behind the train station. At the end is the small temple of S. Concordio. Unfortunately 6 arches were collapsed for the construction of the Florence-sea motorway. Despite the interruption, you can go through the entire aqueduct from the path that runs next to it and at the point of crossing the motorway you go up a staircase and a footbridge.
