Description
Coltano, frazione del comune di Pisa, oltre che per numerose testimonianze archeologiche, è noto per ospitare, nel suo territorio, il più lungo viadotto autostradale d'Italia con i suoi 9.619 m di lunghezza (a cavallo tra Coltano e Collesalvetti). In passato, è stato sede, nei primi quarant'anni del XX secolo, del più importante centro radio d'Europa per comunicazioni transcontinentali, ed ha ospitato durante la seconda guerra mondiale uno dei più duri quanto controversi campi di concentramento alleati in Italia.
Geografia
La località è posizionata a sud di Pisa, e comprende un'ampia area di campi coltivati, ed una vasta pineta, inclusa nel Parco di San Rossore. È compresa tra l'Aeroporto di Pisa-San Giusto a nord, il Camp Darby (Tirrenia, Pisa) ad ovest, le frazioni di Collesalvetti Guasticce e Stagno a sud e la SR206 "Via Emilia", località Arnaccio, ad est. Il centro del territorio, in posizione leggermente rialzata, è nella località Palazzi.
Numerosi canali attraversano o delimitano il territorio, in quanto l'intero areale, in origine paludoso, è stato bonificato a partire dal 1922 dall'Opera Nazionale Combattenti attraverso un sistema di idrovore e canalizzazione, tuttora ben presenti.
