Ponte Lucano

The seven-arched stone bridge extends across the Aniene River, connecting the banks with a series of solid stone structures along the Via Tiburtina.

Constructed in the first century BC by Marcus Plautius Lucanus and Tiberius Claudius Nero, the bridge facilitated traffic between Rome and Tivoli until the 20th century.

The monumental tomb of the Plautii family stands near the bridge, marking the significance of this ancient Roman noble lineage in the region.

The bridge requires structural repairs due to flooding issues caused by industrial dumping, leading to restricted access and preservation concerns.

The bridge maintains its original Roman engineering features despite two millennia of continuous use, demonstrating exceptional durability of ancient construction methods.
