Trezzo sull'Adda Bridge, Medieval deck arch bridge in Trezzo sull'Adda, Italy
Trezzo sull'Adda Bridge is a stone arch crossing over the Adda River between two towns, featuring a single arched span as its main structure. The construction rests on two large supporting piers built into the riverbed.
A regional ruler commissioned this bridge's construction in the late 1300s. It held a technical record for many generations before building methods changed during the industrial era.
The bridge linked two communities and served as a symbol of Visconti power in the region. The massive stone construction visible today reflects its importance as a controlled passage across the river.
Visitors can walk across the bridge and observe its construction up close. The best views of the entire structure come from the riverbanks or the surrounding pathways.
The bridge was originally equipped with fortified towers that provided direct access to a nearby castle. These fortifications were later damaged when hostile forces invaded the region.
