Ponte di Annibale, Roman bridge in Cerreto Sannita, Italy.
Ponte di Annibale is a stone bridge crossing the Titerno River at Cerreto Sannita, built using Roman construction techniques. The structure spans about 13 meters and shows the solid rock masonry characteristic of ancient Roman work.
Built in Roman times, this bridge served as a crucial route across the Titerno in the Campania region. It allowed merchants and travelers to cross the river safely on established trade paths.
This crossing shows how Romans moved through valleys and linked distant places with engineering. You can see here how people built solid structures to last for centuries.
The bridge is located along Via Trocchia in Cerreto Sannita and is easily accessible on foot. Information panels at the site explain the structure and its historical background in Italian and English.
Local stories tie this crossing to the Carthaginian general Hannibal, but no solid historical evidence supports this connection. The name may come from this legend, though the actual purpose was simply to move goods and people across the river.
