Ponte Mosca, Turin

Ponte Mosca spans 45 meters across the Dora Riparia river, connecting corso Giulio Cesare to the Aurora quarter near Porta Palazzo in Turin.

The construction of this stone bridge took place between 1823 and 1830, following an initial proposal by Napoleon in 1807 for a crossing over the Dora.

The bridge received its current name in 1868 to honor architect Carlo Bernardo Mosca, who designed this structure to replace an older wooden bridge.

The bridge serves both as a road connection and a tram line passage, forming an essential part of Turin's transportation infrastructure system.

This structure marked the first stone bridge constructed in Turin under the Sabauda dynasty, representing a significant advancement in engineering techniques of that period.
