Ponte Molino, Roman bridge in Padua, Italy
The Ponte Molino extends over the Bacchiglione River with five stone arches, measuring 50 meters in length and 9 meters in width.
Engineers constructed this bridge between 30 and 40 AD during the Roman Empire, incorporating advanced architectural techniques that enabled its survival through centuries.
The structure represents a testament to Roman engineering methods, featuring segmental arches that influenced bridge construction throughout the Mediterranean region.
