Ponte Vecchio di Dolceacqua

The Ponte Vecchio stone bridge spans across the Nervia River with a single arch design connecting the ancient and modern sections of Dolceacqua.

Built during the 15th century, this medieval bridge underwent multiple reconstructions due to flood damage while maintaining its original architectural character.

French painter Claude Monet visited Dolceacqua in 1884 and created a painting of the bridge, establishing its recognition in European art history.

Visitors can access the bridge through walking paths from both sides of the village, with informational panels displaying historical documentation and artistic reproductions.

The bridge structure features closed-spandrel segmental arches and serves as a central gathering point for local markets and community celebrations.
