About
The Ponte Pietra, or Stone Bridge, is a celebrated Roman arch that spans the Adige River in Verona, Italy. Constructed in 100 BC, the five travertine arches have withstood the test of time, surviving destruction during World War II and being meticulously restored in 1957. Accessible to the public for free, the bridge offers a unique blend of ancient engineering and panoramic views of Verona’s historic skyline. A leisurely walk across the Ponte Pietra allows visitors to appreciate its architectural grandeur and the scenic vistas of the river and city below.
