Ponte della Maddalena, Naples, Stone bridge in eastern Naples, Italy
The Ponte della Maddalena features five substantial arches and two religious shrines dedicated to Saint Gennaro and Saint John Nepomuceno with white marble columns.
Built in 1556 under Viceroy Ferdinand Alvarez de Toledo, this bridge replaced a previous structure that was destroyed by flooding near the Sebeto River.
The bridge gained its name from a fourteenth-century church dedicated to Saint Mary Magdalene, which included a hospital for the sick.
The structure underwent modifications in the late nineteenth century to accommodate the passage of new tram vehicles across its span.
The original river beneath the bridge no longer exists, as the Sebeto River was buried underground, transforming the entire surrounding landscape.
