Ponte Romano, Archaeological site and Roman bridge in Parma, Italy.

Ponte Romano, also called Pons Lapidis, is a Roman bridge whose remains stand in the pedestrian underpass of strada Mazzini beside piazza Ghiaia in Parma. Of the original eleven arches, only two are visible; the rest lie buried under the modern street. The visible arches are built of local sandstone and Verona white stone set with river pebbles.

The structure was built during the reign of Emperor Augustus and served commerce and communication for centuries. In the 5th century it underwent major reconstruction under King Theodoric, incorporating new and reclaimed materials.

The name Pons Lapidis, stone bridge, recalls the 493 reconstruction ordered by Theodoric, which kept only the foundations of the eleven original arches. The two arches visible in the underpass are set in a pedestrian gallery opened after 1966 and now home to a university hub.

The two surviving arches are visible in the pedestrian underpass of strada Mazzini, beside piazza Ghiaia. The underpass was renovated between 2014 and 2018, when borgo Romagnosi was lowered to connect the square with the commercial galleries. Access is step-free from piazza Ghiaia, but the site is a passage rather than a museum, so expect no facilities or staff.

Two of the eleven arches are visible in the pedestrian underpass of strada Mazzini, next to piazza Ghiaia; the other nine remain buried beneath the road surface. The underpass, opened after the arches reappeared in 1966, was closed for years before reopening in 2018 with a university hub.
