Ponte a Sieve, Stone bridge over Sieve River between Pontassieve and San Francesco, Italy
The Ponte a Sieve consists of two brick arches supported by a central stone pillar spanning across the Sieve River in Tuscany.
Commissioned by Cosimo I in 1555, the bridge replaced an earlier structure destroyed by flooding in 1547, with construction led by Stefano di San Piero.
The bridge represents a vital connection point between the communities of Pontassieve and Pelago, serving generations of local residents crossing the Sieve River.
Vehicles can access the bridge in a one-way direction toward San Francesco, while pedestrians may cross from either side throughout the day.
The bridge underwent restoration works in 1788 under Grand Duke Pietro Leopoldo of Lorraine and required additional repairs following World War II damage.
