Смотрите также: Ponte di Pietra The Ponte di Pietra or Ponte Pietra (Italian for "Stone Bridge"), once known as the Pons Marmoreus, is a Roman arch bridge crossing the Adige River in Verona, Italy. The bridge was completed in 100 BC, and the Via Postumia from Genua to the Brenner Pass passed over it.
Ponte di Pietra Crosses Adige River Locale Verona, Italy Design Arch bridge Material Travertine, brick Number of spans 5 Total length 120 m Completion date 100 BC 1957 Destruction date April 1945 (4 of 5 spans destroyed)
It originally flanked another Roman bridge, the Pons Postumius; both structures provided the city (on the right bank) with access to the Roman theatre on the east bank. The arch nearest to the right bank of the Adige was rebuilt in 1298 by Alberto I della Scala. Four arches of the bridge were blown up by retreating German troops in World War II, but rebuilt in 1957 with original materials. Comments: 0 |
