Bridge of Porta Napoli

The Bridge of Porta Napoli is a stone structure in Taranto that spans across the waterway and connects two parts of the city. It was built using local stone materials assembled with traditional construction methods that remain visible in its design today.

The bridge was built in earlier centuries to connect Taranto's growing urban areas with its port zones. Today it is recognized as Italian national heritage and continues to serve as an important part of the city's infrastructure.

The bridge design reflects the engineering knowledge of previous generations through its structural elements and architectural characteristics.

The bridge is accessible on foot and located near several bus stops that provide good connectivity. It is best crossed during daylight hours when visibility is clear and traffic is lighter.

The bridge maintains its original stone construction, serving as a study subject for architectural students examining historical building techniques.
