Pont du Diable, Medieval stone bridge in Torcello, Italy.

Ponte del Diavolo is a brick bridge with a single arch over the Canale Maggiore on Torcello, in the municipality of Venice. Like the Ponte Chiodo in Cannaregio, it has no parapet: the walkway runs directly between the two brick shoulders. Its foundations rest on those of a 13th-century bridge, probably flat and about a metre narrower.

Archaeological finds date the brick arch and pavement to the 15th century, but its foundations rest on a 13th-century bridge, probably flat and about a metre narrower. A restoration completed on 6 August 2009 reinforced the arch and shoulders while keeping the original structure.

The name's origin is unexplained: some say Diavoli was the nickname of a local family, others link it to a legend. In that tale, set during Austrian rule in Venice, a witch summoned the devil on the bridge to revive a young woman's murdered Austrian officer, promising seven children's souls; the witch died in a fire before the exchange, and the devil is said to return each 24 December as a large black cat.

The bridge is narrow and lacks protective railings, so care is needed when crossing, especially on wet surfaces. Sturdy shoes and careful footing help ensure a safe passage across.

Archaeological digs found 15th-century material between the brick arch and the brick walkway, and the footings rest on 13th-century foundations of an earlier, flatter bridge about a metre narrower. A restoration finished on 6 August 2009 reinforced the arch and abutments while keeping the original structure.
