Pons Cestius, Roman bridge in Trastevere, Italy.
The Pons Cestius spans the Tiber River with three stone arches connecting Tiber Island to the western bank of Rome.
Constructed in 46 BC by Lucius Cestius, the bridge underwent major reconstruction in 370 AD under Emperors Valentinian I, Valens, and Gratian.
The bridge reflects Roman engineering methods through its stone construction and architectural design, demonstrating the advanced building techniques of ancient Rome.
The 80.4-meter-long bridge maintains its function as a crossing point between Tiber Island and the Trastevere district for both pedestrians and vehicles.
During the 1892 reconstruction, builders preserved two-thirds of the original materials from the ancient structure within the central arch of the new bridge.
