Ponte Coperto, Covered bridge in Pavia, Italy
The stone and brick bridge extends 216 meters across the Ticino River with five arches and features a complete roof structure.
The current structure replaced the original 1354 bridge, which was built on Roman foundations and suffered severe damage during World War II bombardments.
The bridge contains a central chapel and serves as a gathering point for local events, connecting the historical center with the rest of Pavia.
The structure provides shelter for pedestrians and vehicles crossing between the city center and Borgo Ticino district throughout all weather conditions.
Einstein mentioned the bridge in a 1947 letter, leading to the placement of a commemorative plaque on its 50th death anniversary in 2005.
