Ponte di San Francesco, Medieval stone bridge in Subiaco, Italy.
The Ponte di San Francesco extends 37 meters across the Aniene River with a single stone arch spanning between rocky banks.
Construction of the bridge concluded in 1358 using ransom money obtained from Tivoli hostages during a territorial conflict between the cities.
The bridge represents a meeting point where local residents gather during festivals and community events throughout the calendar year.
Pedestrians can cross the bridge to reach both sides of Subiaco, connecting the main town area with surrounding neighborhoods and monasteries.
The bridge structure incorporates architectural elements from medieval engineering, including a segmental arch design that optimizes water flow underneath.
