Ponte romano di Palazzolo sull'Oglio, Roman bridge in Palazzolo sull'Oglio, northern Italy.

The Ponte romano di Palazzolo sull'Oglio is a stone bridge with a humped profile and arches of squared stone blocks, rebuilt in Sarnico stone in 1810 after the central arch collapsed in 1799. The first arch toward Piazza Roma was closed and buried when the Torrazzo was demolished. The bridge crosses the Oglio River.

The structure was built during the Roman period as part of the Via Gallica, connecting major settlements from Grado to Turin through the Po Valley. Medieval fortifications were added to both ends during conflicts between Brescia and Bergamo over water rights.

The bridge gave its name to the toll travellers paid to cross it, the "pontatico", collected in the Middle Ages to keep the crossing in order. The first arch towards today's Piazza Roma was walled up and buried when the Brescian "torrazzo" was demolished and a porticoed building, used as an inn for wayfarers, was added to the market square.

You can visit the bridge throughout the year and observe it from both riverbanks while exploring the surrounding historic town center. Access is straightforward and the setting offers good opportunities to view the structure from different angles.

The first arch toward today's Piazza Roma still exists but is buried: it was walled up and interred when the "torrazzo", the Brescia-side fortification, was demolished and the market square buildings were enlarged with a porticoed inn for travellers.
