Ponte Sisto, Roman bridge in Regola district, Italy
Ponte Sisto is a stone arch bridge that crosses the Tiber River and connects the Regola district with Trastevere. It consists of four large arches and is used exclusively by pedestrians.
The bridge was built between 1473 and 1479 on orders of a Renaissance pope and replaced an ancient bridge at the same location. Construction took place during a period of major architectural changes in Rome.
The bridge connects two popular Roman neighborhoods and serves as a daily crossing for residents moving between different sides of the Tiber. People gather here in the evening to enjoy views and watch the river flow.
The crossing is accessible to pedestrians at any time of day without restrictions or fees. Note that it becomes crowded during peak hours, especially in the evening.
The bridge's central pier contains a circular opening that helps reduce water pressure during floods. This practical design reveals the engineering knowledge of Renaissance builders.
