2. Ponte di Tiberio (Tiberius Bridge)
The bridge, in
Istrian stone, was begun
by Augustus in 14 A.D.
and completed by
Tiberius in 21 A.D., as
the inscription on the
internal parapets reminds us. It spreads over more than 70
meters on 5 arches placed on massive pillars. A stop not to miss
is the new square on the water which, facing the reservoir,
allows a suggestive view of Ponte di Tiberio and a pedestrian
walk along the edge of the basin. Next to it, the new
archaeological park 'Le pietre raccontano' leads one to discover
the long history of the bridge. A new floating walkway connects
the left and right docks of the ancient port facing Ponte di
Tiberio, considered one of the most beautiful in the world.
