Ponte dei Saraceni, Medieval road bridge in Adrano, Italy
The stone arch bridge spans across a deep ravine with a structure featuring alternating colored stones forming distinct angular patterns.
Originally constructed during the Roman period, the bridge underwent significant reconstruction during the Norman conquest and after the 1693 Sicily earthquake.
The bridge stands as a testament to the architectural methods of different civilizations, from Roman foundations to Norman design elements.
Visitors can access the bridge through marked paths, with parking areas available nearby and informational signs explaining its engineering features.
The structure contains smaller arches of varying sizes, rebuilt following the flood of 1948, with natural lava formations visible in the riverbed below.
