Légende

New Aqueduct at Trieste - the Machine Rooms, 1856. 'Of late years, in consequence of the extension of its suburbs and the increase of its population from ten to sixty thousand, the supply of water in Trieste has fallen greatly short of the demand. The municipality has, at different periods, gone to a considerable expense in having the environs of the town explored and studied...At length...when the railroad was planned between Vienna and Trieste, the Austrian Government interfered in the matter, as it was found that the engines would require large supplies of water at Trieste. A company was accordingly started under the auspices of Baron Bruck...for the purpose of erecting a new aqueduct to convey water from a spring at the side of Mount Santa Croce, about two leagues distance'. From "Illustrated London News", 1856.
