Ponte Pietra

Ponte Pietra is truly one of Verona’s most beautiful and historically rich landmarks. As the city’s oldest bridge, it gracefully spans the Adige River and connects the historic center with the hillside areas beyond. The bridge’s beauty and charm lies in its mix of Roman and medieval elements giving you feel of all its history. Originally built in Roman times and later reconstructed after World War II using original stones, Ponte Pietra feels like a living piece of history with breath taking views. A must see attraction for anyone enjoying a walk through our ancient history.

The Ponte Pietra (Italian for "Stone Bridge") is a Roman arch bridge crossing the Adige River in Verona, Italy. The bridge was completed in 100 BC, and the Via Postumia from Genoa to Aquileia passed over it. It is the oldest bridge in Verona. Try to have a beer or a glass of wine near the river to enjoy its beauty before crossing it.

📍 Ponte Pietra – Verona, Italy 🇮🇹 A beautiful Roman bridge 🌉 crossing the Adige River 🌊 and one of Verona’s most iconic landmarks. We visited in May and the sunset was absolutely stunning 🌅, casting golden light over the river and rooftops. After dinner, it was the perfect place to stroll 🚶‍♂️🚶‍♀️, soak in the view, and take photos 📸. A romantic and memorable spot to end the evening in Verona. 🙌

Very scenery bridge. It is worth the effort to come over here. Sun set view is the best. You can walk from here all the way to townhall.

An ancient Roman era bridge that has a rebuilt central section. Good views of river side and St Pietra castle on the hill across from the town. The best bridge to cross when climbing up to the castle or riding up the funicular railway.
