Pont de Pierre, Roman stone bridge in Aosta, Italy
The Pont de Pierre extends across 17 meters with a width of 5.9 meters, featuring a prominent arch vault constructed from pudding stone and Roman concrete.
Built during the second half of Emperor Augustus's reign between 30 BC and 14 AD, this bridge connected military routes leading to the Little and Great St Bernard passes.
The bridge demonstrates Roman engineering methods through its flat arch profile and large voussoirs, reflecting construction techniques from the early Roman Empire period.
Located 300 meters from the Arch of Augustus at coordinates 45.739675, 7.329984, the bridge offers visitors an opportunity to examine ancient Roman architecture.
While originally spanning the Buthier River, the watercourse has shifted over time, leaving this structural masterwork standing without water beneath its arch.
