Ponte della Vittoria

Ponte della Vittoria is a road bridge crossing the Arno River in Pisa with three arches spanning roughly 122 meters. The steel and stone structure rises about 12 meters above the water level and carries daily vehicle traffic between the northern and southern areas of the city.

The original bridge was built in 1931 but collapsed just three years later due to excessive weight. It was rebuilt after that collapse, then destroyed again during World War II, and finally reconstructed in 1950 to its current form.

The bridge links two main neighborhoods and serves as an everyday crossing for both pedestrians and vehicles flowing between them. It has become a familiar landmark in the local landscape, marking a key transition point in how people move through the city.

The bridge accommodates both pedestrian and vehicle traffic as part of the city's main transportation network. Access is straightforward from either riverbank, with clear connections to the surrounding streets and neighborhoods on both sides.

The railings feature concrete cassons faced with stone, creating a distinctive architectural detail along the riverside. This cladding approach sets it apart visually from other crossings in the city.
