Ponte dei Leoni, Stone bridge near Arengario, Monza, Italy.
The Ponte dei Leoni crosses the Lambro River with three arches and features four marble lions created by sculptor Antonio Tantardini.
The bridge, constructed between 1838 and 1840 under Austrian Empire rule, replaced the ancient Roman Arena Bridge that had fallen into disrepair.
The marble lions decorating the bridge reflect the architectural preferences of nineteenth-century Lombardy and demonstrate the influence of Milanese sculptors.
The structure stands on Via Vittorio Emanuele, connecting different sections of Monza and providing direct access to the historical center.
The foundations of the original Roman bridge remain visible on the eastern bank of the river, protected by a display case.
