Ponte Salario, Roman bridge on Via Salaria, Rome, Italy

The Ponte Salario spans the Aniene River with its stone arch structure, featuring a central medieval tower and extensive fortifications along its length.

Built in the fourth century BC, the bridge underwent reconstruction in 565 by General Narses after destruction during conflicts between Byzantine and Ostrogothic forces.

The bridge structure appears in numerous paintings from the 1700s, particularly in works by French artists who documented the Roman landscape.

The bridge received modifications in 1930 to accommodate increased traffic flow, with an additional parallel structure constructed after World War II.

A Roman tomb known as Sepolcro di Mario sits at the base of the bridge tower, connecting to events from the First Roman Civil War.
