Ponte Testaccio

The Ponte Testaccio stretches 121.91 meters across the Tiber River, connecting the districts of Testaccio and Trastevere in Rome through its stone architecture.

Construction of the bridge began in 1938 under architect Bastianelli's supervision, intended to link Viale Aventino to Roma Trastevere railway station after demolishing the old slaughterhouse.

The bridge features four travertine low reliefs on its headboards, representing the architectural elements characteristic of Italian infrastructure during the 1940s period.

The structure serves both pedestrian and vehicular traffic, providing direct access between Largo Giovanni Battista Marzi and Lungotevere Portuense across the Tiber River.

Initially planned to be named Ponte d'Africa, this 31.3-meter-wide bridge received its current name upon its completion in 1948.
