ponte pietra

When I got close to this amazing bridge and I was literally amazed in front of this beauty, a bridge of extraordinary historical value, also built by the Romans some like 2000 years ago and still working perfectly. The visual spectacle is unique and from the bridge you can take outstanding photos. Top attraction in the city.

You cross this bridge on the way to the amphitheatre. Walking through the arch though not as spectacular as vecchio bridge

The Bridge Ponte Pietra is one of the most central bridges Verona can be proud of. It is an ancient bridge popular for the great views over the Adige. You can take also nice pictures of the castle located on the hill in front of the city centre.

We were exploring Verona not really having a plan on going to this bridge, however we kind of just stumbled across it. It was a great photo location with the Verona hills in the background.

we enjoyed a Saturday stroll over the bright blue waters towards the castle and really enjoyed walking over this bridge and taking photos up and down stream of the beautiful villas that line the river. Well worth the stroll and the look

Myself and my husband walked along the river in Verona. It was a fabulous walk and this bridge was our finishing point. Definitely worth a visit!

Ponte Pietra, the Stone Bridge, built originally by the Romans. The bridge has undergone several reconstructions and remains one of the most important monuments of Roman Verona. It is legitimate to date the bridge prior to 89 B.C. – the year when Verona became a Latin colony – an initial bridge across the Adige, perhaps in wood, may have been built in this site following the construction of the Postumia Road, which ran from Genoa to Aquileia, in 148 B.C. This bridge is a excellent example of ancient construction. Time for visit - 15 minutes

Ponte Pietra is a great place to capture a beautiful picture. I actually found that the best place to get the bridge as well as the castle in your pictures is from the next bridge down the river, it was near Piazza San Tomaso. I went at night and it was very beautiful. Enjoy!

Was a treat to wander over the bridge when it was so quiet in the evening.Beautifully restored giving a wonderful sense of old Verona.Love the bridges in this city :)

The bridge is beautiful. If you are coming in from the city, I would recommend walking across and getting a view from the other side. The waters of the Adige as they flow beneath sparkle and you get a beautiful view of the city along the river. The downside is the traffic on the road that runs along the river.The stone part is Roman while the brick part is from the middle ages. The bridge was blown up by the Germans at the end of WWII and the brick part was in pieces in the river. The people of Verona gathered the pieces and put it back together. The bridge represents a lot of history.

Prior to the Roman era the original residents of Verona had a series of large stepping stones over the Adige River. Then the Romans built a glorious stone bridge which was washed away in one of the many floods which have troubled this region over the centuries. The outline of stairways and other remains can be seen on both sides of the river. Ponte Pietra, which is several hundred years old has stood the test of time and remains as the oldest bridge in Verona.

What a beautiful bridge. Although it was badly damaged during the second world war it was rebuilt using the same materials as the original. They did a superb job and it is amazing to walk across a bridge 2000 years old

A group of 30 plus on the last night of a week in Verona came here for what we thought would be a special night out. Painfully slow service resulting in a very late night. Food was average, service very slow, sadly didn't live up to expectations. Perhaps they shouldn't take large groups on a Sat night.

Make time to walk this bridge and view it from the side. It is not high elevation, but interesting construction and nearby old structures are photographic. It's also lovely at night.

Really great to see. Some lovely photo opportunities too and with history. I really enjoyed our walk here.
