Roman bridge on Rubicone River

The stone bridge stretches 24.20 meters across the Rubicone River, featuring traditional Roman engineering techniques and architectural elements from the first century.

This bridge stands near the location where Julius Caesar crossed the Rubicon in 49 BCE, initiating significant changes in Roman political structure.

The bridge received official recognition as an Italian national heritage site, representing the engineering capabilities of ancient Roman civilization in northern Italy.

Visitors can reach the bridge through a one-way road system, with parking spaces available nearby and pedestrian paths along the riverside.

The structure maintains its original Roman form when viewed from the downstream side, displaying the engineering methods used during the reign of Augustus.
