Maria Cristina Bridge, Historic suspension bridge in Solopapa, Italy
The Maria Cristina Bridge spans across the Calore River with reinforced concrete construction, featuring four marble lions and two semicircular platforms from its original structure.
The initial suspension bridge, designed by architect Luigi Giura, opened on April 5, 1835, in the presence of Ferdinand II and Queen Maria Cristina di Savoy.
A commemorative plaque within the right pillar marks the bridge's inauguration, while another plaque honors philosopher Stefano Cusani along the road to Solopaca.
The current bridge, rebuilt in 1947 after German forces destroyed the original structure, connects the Telesina Valley to the Taburno region across the Calore River.
The iron components of the original bridge were manufactured in Calabria, making it the second suspension bridge with chains built in the Kingdom of Two Sicilies.
