About
In 271 BC, the Romans built the world's tallest artificial waterfall.
Cascata delle Marmore, more commonly referred to as Marmore Falls, is a sight that will have your jaw dropping. The Velino River pushes itself down the hills above Rieti only to abruptly jump off verdant cliffs and fall into the valley below. Nestled in nature, the multiple steps of this waterfall looks like a thing of beauty but it actually isn't natural at all! At an impeccable 541 feet tall this waterfall is the tallest man-made one in the world and its grandeur is symbolic of mankind's engineering successes since 2,000 years ago.
