Ponte Lupo, Roman aqueduct bridge in Gallicano nel Lazio, Italy.
The stone and brick bridge stretches 120 meters across the Fosso delle Acque Rosse valley, rising 30 meters above the riverbed with thick supporting walls.
Built in 144 BC as part of the Aqua Marcia system, this bridge carried water from springs in the Aniene Valley to supply ancient Rome's growing population.
The bridge represents Roman engineering excellence through its integration of architectural elements, demonstrating advanced water management techniques of the ancient civilization.
Visitors can reach the bridge by following an unmarked trail from Via Polense, located near the intersection with Via Faustiniana in Gallicano nel Lazio.
The bridge features underground conduits carved into tuff cliffs on both sides of the valley, creating an advanced water transportation network across challenging terrain.
