Ponte della Cittadella

The Ponte della Cittadella spans 166 meters across the Arno River with a main span of 48 meters and stands 13.5 meters above the water.

Constructed in 1957, the bridge replaced previous structures that were destroyed during World War II bombings and connects Piazza Guerrazzi with the Mezzogiorno quarter.

The bridge serves as a symbol of post-war reconstruction efforts in Pisa and represents the transition from traditional to modern engineering methods in Italian infrastructure.

The 14-meter width accommodates both vehicle lanes and pedestrian paths, providing essential connections between the Fibonacci district and Buozzi Lungarno areas.

The bridge underwent three complete reconstructions before reaching its current form, with the first structure collapsing in 1934 before its intended inauguration.
