Florence has its Ponte Vecchio and Venice, the Rialto Bridge. In Verona, the not-to-be-missed bridge is Ponte Pietra across the Adige River.
Built around 100 BC, this bridge is considered one of the most important Roman monuments in Verona.
The bridge is colorfully made with red brick and white stones, and reflects various architectural styles depending on when it was worked on. It has several arches, but only one of its towers stands today.
Original arches can be seen today on the river’s left bank. Some of the bridge was destroyed by Germans during World War II, but later restored using original materials.
