Ponte Capodarso, Medieval arch bridge in central Sicily, Italy
The stone bridge spans 95 meters across the Salso River, connecting the provinces of Caltanissetta and Enna through three distinct arches.
Originally constructed in 1553 under Charles V's orders, the bridge underwent a transformation between 1847 and 1848 from a single arch to three arches.
French painter Jean Houel documented the bridge's appearance in the eighteenth century through a watercolor painting that captured its structural details.
The bridge serves as a crucial segment of State Road 122 Agrigentina, facilitating daily transportation between the cities of Caltanissetta and Enna.
The structure stands within the Monte Capodarso and Valle dell'Imera Meridionale Nature Reserve, marking the starting point of the annual Coppa Nissena race.
