Ponte di Veja, Natural limestone arch in Sant'Anna d'Alfaedo, Italy
The Ponte di Veja spans 50 meters across, rises 30 meters above the valley floor, and features a thickness of 9 meters in its limestone structure.
The caves at the base of the arch contain archaeological evidence of human habitation dating back 90,000 years, with Neanderthal settlements and flint manufacturing sites.
Andrea Mantegna incorporated the arch into his frescoes in Mantua, demonstrating the structure's influence on Renaissance Italian art and architecture.
Located 25 kilometers from Verona at 602 meters above sea level, visitors can access the arch through marked trails starting from the main parking area.
The natural erosion process created Europe's largest natural bridge, with water now flowing beneath through large fallen rocks fed by the Grotta dell'Acqua spring.
