Ponte Tor Boacciana, Medieval bridge at Tiber River, Fiumicino, Italy
The Ponte Tor Boacciana spans across the Tiber River near its mouth, connecting the Archaeological Park of Ostia Antica with the municipality of Fiumicino.
Built during Emperor Trajan's reign in the 2nd century AD, the structure incorporated a tower that served as a lighthouse for vessels navigating the Tiber River.
The bridge's name originates from the Bovazzani family who owned the surrounding lands in the 12th century and maintained the adjacent tower.
Located 4 kilometers from the river mouth, the bridge provides direct access to both the archaeological site and the modern Fiumicino airport area.
The structure combines elements from different periods, with its base featuring imperial Roman construction techniques and its upper section displaying medieval architecture.
