The Scaliger Bridge (Ponte Scaligero) in Verona is a stunning medieval structure that combines history, architecture, and scenic beauty.
Built in the 14th century by Cangrande II della Scala, the bridge was designed as a fortified escape route from the Castelvecchio fortress. Its red brick arches and crenellated battlements reflect Verona’s Ghibelline heritage and military ingenuity. Though destroyed during World War II, it was meticulously reconstructed, preserving its original grandeur. Today, the pedestrian-only bridge offers breathtaking views of the Adige River and serves as a powerful symbol of Verona’s resilience and medieval legacy.
