Разрушенный мост через Тибр Broken bridge over the Tiber

Rating 8110

The ruined bridge flaunts in the middle of the river next to the Palatino bridge. Ponte Rotto is the oldest bridge across the Tiber. In its place, there was originally a wooden bridge, which was sometimes destroyed during wars and attacks on Rome. And then, when the security of the city was more or less ensured, a stone bridge was built, which was nevertheless rebuilt several times after the floods. But it finally collapsed after a severe flood in 1598, and only one of the 5 arches remained. The water in this part of the tiber is very fast and muddy, and debris, branches and silt collect on the base of the bridge. But this does not prevent the bridge from being a rather attractive and ancient landmark of Rome.
The entire embankment in this part of the city is a unique place, I advise you to take a walk along the Palatino Bridge (this is if you go from the side of the Temple of Hercules), then walk along the embankment to the Cestio Bridge and along it to Tiberina Island.
You can spend some time there, and then you can leave the island along the Fabrizio Bridge and head to the Turtle Fountain and further to Piazza Venezia - a great walk will turn out.
