Ponte romano di Palazzolo sull'Oglio

The stone bridge spans across the Oglio River with multiple arches constructed using carefully shaped blocks from Sarnico quarries.

Built during the Roman period, this bridge formed part of the Via Gallica, connecting major settlements from Grado to Turin through the Po Valley.

The bridge demonstrates Roman engineering methods with its full arch design and stands as a testament to ancient construction techniques still visible today.

Visitors can access the bridge throughout the year and observe the structure from both riverbanks while exploring the surrounding historic town center.

Medieval fortifications were added at both ends of the bridge during conflicts between Brescia and Bergamo over water rights.
