Ponte Sisto, Roman bridge in Regola district, Italy
Ponte Sisto extends 105 meters across the Tiber River, connecting the Regola district to Trastevere through four stone arches.
Pope Sixtus IV commissioned the construction of this bridge between 1473 and 1479, replacing the ancient Pons Aurelius that stood at the same location.
The bridge serves as a central meeting point between Campo de' Fiori and Piazza Trilussa, drawing residents for evening gatherings.
The structure remains open exclusively for pedestrian traffic, providing direct access between Via dei Pettinari and Piazza Trilussa at any time.
The bridge features a circular opening called oculus in its central pier, designed to reduce water pressure during river floods.
