Steinerner Steg, Stone bridge in Merano, Italy.
The Steinerner Steg spans across the Passer River with two arches, connecting the historic center of Merano with the Steinach and Obermais districts.
After a wooden aqueduct deteriorated in 1615, architect Andrä Tanner constructed the current stone bridge in 1617 following the destruction of its first version by flooding.
The bridge received its Italian name Ponte Romano in 1927 during the Italianization period of South Tyrol, despite having no actual Roman historical connections.
The structure serves as a central pedestrian passage between different sections of Merano, positioned near the historic town gate called Passeirer Tor.
Local stone materials form the entire construction of this footbridge, which stands as the oldest crossing point in Merano, recognized as a South Tyrolean cultural monument.
