Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II, Arch bridge connecting Vatican City to historic Rome, Italy
The Ponte Vittorio Emanuele II extends 110 meters across the Tiber River with three substantial arches supported by four white marble columns.
Italian architect Ennio de Rossi designed this bridge in 1886, and after extended construction periods, the structure opened on June 5, 1911.
Bronze statues of Winged Victory stand at each end of the bridge, while central sculptures represent Italian unity, liberty, and constitutional loyalty.
The bridge remains open continuously for vehicle and pedestrian traffic, connecting the Vatican area with central Rome through multiple bus and tram routes.
Through the leftmost arch, visitors can observe ancient Roman pier footings that belonged to the former Pons Neronianus structure.
