Ponte Rotto

The broken bridge is the only remnant of the first stone bridge built on the Tiber River. It was situated next to the fully functional Paratino Bridge and collapsed in 1598. Today, this incomplete white giant is sadly placed under moss and grass, leaving modern Romans to rush past it. Perhaps visitors with a special interest in Roman architecture will find it worth a visit.

Standing on the bridge, the clear river, the castle on the edge, the atmosphere around the whole is great, blending in is like returning to the old Rome, praise

Relics bear the weight of history. What a huge project was this bridge in those days?

I went there in mid-November and stood by the bridge, looking out at the clear river and the castle on the side. The atmosphere around me was so wonderful that it was like going back to Rome, Zan.

The remains of this ancient bridge are across the Tiber River
