Pont Génois Guadubughjj, Pedestrian bridge in Pietracorbara, France.
Pont Génois Guadubughjj is a footpath made of stone that crosses a mountain stream in a valley on the island. The bridge has a single arch that connects two steep banks on either side.
The bridge was built between the 13th and 18th centuries while the Genoese controlled the island, and it served as a key route for people traveling between mountain villages. The Genoese needed such connections to maintain their power across Corsica.
The structure reflects how Genoese builders worked in the Mediterranean, using stone and simple techniques that adapted to rocky terrain without modern machinery.
The walk to the bridge starts from the hamlet of Selmacci and follows marked paths that are easy to navigate. The surroundings offer good opportunities for walking and taking photos.
Water gathers beneath the stone arch and creates a small natural pool where swimming is possible. This hidden swimming spot draws visitors looking to cool off on warm days.
