Archi della Marina, Railway bridge in Catania, Italy.
The Archi della Marina extends through Catania with 56 alternating gray and white arches made of volcanic rock and limestone.
The railway viaduct was constructed in the late 1800s to support the transportation of sulfur and minerals across Eastern Sicily.
Local residents refer to the area under the arches as 'stari sutta l'acca ra Marina' in their dialect, reflecting its role in the community.
The structure connects multiple railway lines, including the Catania-Agrigento, Catania-Gela, and Messina-Syracuse routes for passenger and freight transport.
The arches were initially built over water near the port, but modifications in the 1930s left them standing on solid ground.
