Ponte Palatino, Road bridge in Rome, Italy
The Ponte Palatino extends 155 meters across the Tiber River, featuring iron frames supported by four large pillars covered with travertine stone blocks.
Constructed between 1886 and 1890 by Milanese engineer Angelo Vescovali, this bridge replaced the ancient Ponte Rotto, whose remnants remain visible nearby.
The bridge takes its name from the Palatine Hill, which according to ancient historian Livy was inhabited by the Arcadian Evander before the Trojan War.
The structure connects the Forum Boarium at Lungotevere Aventino with the Trastevere district at Piazza Castellani, facilitating daily transportation across the Tiber.
Near its left bank, visitors can observe the outlet of the Cloaca Maxima, Rome's ancient sewer system, although currently obstructed.
