Trepponti bridge, Stone bridge and city gate in Comacchio, Italy
The Trepponti bridge features five staircases made of brick, connected through a central Istrian stone floor forming a pentagonal public square above the canals.
Cardinal Giovanni Battista Maria Pallotta commissioned the bridge construction in 1638 to architect Luca Danesi as part of Comacchio's urban renovation under Papal States rule.
The bridge structure incorporates a decorated plaque on its rightmost tower displaying verses from Italian poet Torquato Tasso about the regional environment.
Five separate staircases lead visitors down to different sections of the city, including access to streets, markets, and the branching canals below.
The bridge divides into five separate paths over multiple intersecting waterways, making it an exceptional example of multiway bridge architecture in Italy.
