Ponte del Diavolo, Natural sandstone arch in Lama Mocogno, Italy.
The Ponte del Diavolo spans 33 meters across a stream, featuring varying widths from 1 to 3 meters within the Frignano forest region.
Archaeological excavations near the arch revealed numerous artifacts from prehistoric times through medieval periods, including ceramics, metal objects, and thousands of Roman coins.
Local inhabitants named it Devil's Bridge, attributing its formation to supernatural forces, while later it received names connecting it to classical deities Hercules and Apollo.
Visitors can reach the arch via marked trails from a designated parking area along State Road 12 toward Abetone, turning right onto Via Ponte d'Ercole.
The natural basin at the northern end contains human-made modifications, suggesting ancient ritual uses connected to water purification practices.
