Ponte Sanguinario, Roman bridge ruins in Spoleto, Italy.
The Ponte Sanguinario extends 24 meters in length and stands 8.07 meters high, featuring three semicircular arches constructed entirely of travertine stone.
Built during the reign of Augustus around 27 BC, the bridge remained buried until its rediscovery in 1817 during public works of the Papal State restoration.
Local traditions connect the bridge to the martyrdom of Saint Ponziano, the patron saint of Spoleto, who was reportedly executed at this location.
Visitors can access the underground structure through a short iron-railed staircase near Piazza della Vittoria, next to Porta Leonina and San Gregorio Maggiore Basilica.
The central pillar contains a water drainage tunnel, while only two of the three original arches remain visible after the 1993 restoration work.
